Gudrun Schyman (Fi), municipal politician, thinks that the corona crisis shows the importance of a green future without borders. Mattias Karlsson (SD), Member of Parliament, believes that it is raising the need for a strong nation state.  

They have completely different opinions, but when the conversation in the program "The Meeting" comes into the "just-in-time" system in care and care, they agree with each other. “Just-in-time” is about reducing costs by only producing and delivering the amount of goods needed at the moment. 

"Could do something together"  

- Protective equipment orders, as we have already done, were canceled from other countries. We didn't get them because they kept them where they were, says Mattias Karlsson.   

- The idea of ​​just-in-time has proved extremely vulnerable. Just-in-time is about pushing the time to get more profit and it should away from care and care, says Gudrun Schyman.    

Mattias Karlsson then suggests that SD and Fi do a joint thing in the form of, for example, a debate article or budgeting on health and care issues.   

“Agree from different starting points”  

Marie Demker, professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg, is not surprised that they agree on "just-in-time" criticism. She believes that most people agree that the corona crisis's lack of medical equipment has shown vulnerability to the system.   

- But they agree from different starting points. For Karlsson, the criticism of "just-in-time" is a building block in an idea of ​​the nation's strength. For Schyman, the question of "just-in-time" is a practical question, but in the long run it involves ideologically central social areas such as care and care and women-dominated professions, says Marie Demker.    

- They can agree on these kinds of things, a matter of fact, but not in ideological matters. Fi is individualistic, almost ultra-liberal. SD is a national conservative, strongly collectivist party, says Marie Demker.   

Schyman not interested  

Gudrun Schyman is not interested in Mattias Karlsson's proposal to collaborate on these issues.   

- Obviously, it would make a difference if they had done something about this together, so the media logic works. But I don't think it had changed much in practice, says Marie Demker.
