Ebba Busch (KD) criticizes the government's strategy: "Has failed the elderly"

In Stockholm, which has so far been the worst affected by the corona virus, almost 40 percent of those who have died from the virus have lived in elderly homes. It is against this background that Ebba Busch criticizes the government's handling of the crisis.

- I get sad when I hear it. These are citizens that I believe have failed social democracy and parts of Sweden that the social democracy has forgotten in its quest for power, Ebba Busch told Dagens Nyheter.

Now Ebba Busch is being bribed by Justice and Migration Minister Morgan Johansson (S) who on Twitter calls her statement "a really unlucky hope, especially considering that the Christian Democrats are responsible for the elderly care in Stockholm".

Since the 2018 elections, the City of Stockholm has been governed by a coalition of the Moderates, Liberals, Center Party, the Environmental Party and the Christian Democrats. What the Minister of Justice is referring to is that Erik Slottner, a party colleague to Ebba Busch, is the chair of the Elderly Committee, which is responsible for the municipal elderly care in the city.

Morgan Johansson also writes that “We Social Democrats are happy to have a debate with KD about welfare, healthcare and the elderly. But it will be after Sweden has gone through the infection crisis. "

In the interview with DN, Ebba Busch also says that she is positive that the government has now asked for increased powers to fight the virus. The Christian Democrats would rather see that the regions are decommissioned and that health care is governed by the state. According to Ebba Busch, the corona crisis has shown the importance of having a national leadership of crisis preparedness.
