Behind the protest is Väse Social Democratic Association and they write in a debate article that the privatization of housing for the elderly risks ending with chaos, reduction of staff and reports to IVO. In the debate article they also write that it is among other things Väsebor who will take part in the protest.

"Will get the right service"

Christian Barenfeld Holm (M), chairman of the Board of Health and Care Services in Karlstad Municipality, believes that the decision to procure the nursing home is part of their work for freedom of choice.

- I can understand that there is some concern, since the procurement is not complete and you do not know who will take over. However, we have no ambition to outsource the business to someone we don't think is good. The residents will receive the service they are entitled to. Our job is to ensure as good a care as we can give, he says.
