Sabuni: Hope again we have a majority for the reform

The government's message today should be enough to get the Moderates and Christian Democrats on plans to reform and privatize parts of the Employment Service, according to Nyamko Sabuni.

The two objections raised by M and KD concern that the reform is proceeding too fast, and partly that the reform is based on the Act on Freedom of Choice, the Act. At both points, the government is now changing its footing, and is agreeing to extend the reform by one year, and to relax the regulations so that the LOV does not need to be used for all procurement. Instead, reference is made to "appropriate procurement systems" depending on the services in question.

- Here I would like to say that we adapt more to the alliance policy that we believed in when we once agreed within the alliance that the employment service needs reform, and that is the policy M and KD should recognize in, says Nyamko Sabuni.

"With that, I hope we meet their demands and that we again have a majority for the reform," says Nyamko Sabuni.

That there was as far as a threat of disbelief before the government swung the issue, Nyamko Sabuni says is because it was not previously apparent that the reform lacked support in Parliament.

- It is only now during the course of the work, not least after the employment office has returned with an analysis where they say that time can be sparsely increased, says Nyamko Sabuni.

- So it is now M and KD pay attention to these shortcomings and we believe that they are right, if we are to have good quality it is important with this time, says Nyamko Sabuni.

There are no signs that the government has adapted the reform to criticism from the Left Party, which took the initiative to put pressure on the government and threaten with a declaration of confidence. The Left Party has not yet made a statement, but is awaiting before the party answers the message from the government.
