Right now, a press conference is being held at the Royal Church, where an external review of the economy of the Swedish Church in Karlskrona is presented by Bishop Johan Tyrberg. The report shows that both the church council and the church council receive strong criticism from the auditors.
The external review focuses on how decisions have been made in connection with the renovation of Fredriksskyrkan.
- We wanted to have a receipt for what happened and what decisions were made, and what the financial calculation looked like, says Johan Tyrberg.
SVT News Blekinge examined Karlskrona-Aspö pastorate for almost a year and has reported that the extensive renovation of Fredrikskyrkan was about SEK 100 million more expensive than planned. This has led to poor finances which have forced the pastorate to terminate employees.
In addition to presenting the report on the church's finances, Bishop Johan Tyrberg, during his visit to Karlskrona, also met with staff and local church politicians - after the tours of the pastorate.
