The trader: "A pure disaster"

Hypermat is the largest food store in the Nordic region. Now you go on a low flame and have both notified and laid off.

- We fired 30 people directly when Norway closed the border, and the rest work 40 percent, says owner Kaj Hänninen.

According to him, however, it is not very surprising if Norway continues to keep the border closed.

- We had hoped for an opening of course, you can always do that. But to dare to believe it - no. If not even Finland wants Swedes to do with us, why should Norway want it?

He sighs abandoned.

- We bleed and continue to bleed big money. It is clear that there is a far limit to how long we can handle it.

What do you think about what is happening with border trade right now?

- Ojojojoj. It's sad. It's a disaster, I find no other word.
