The Riksdag's second largest party, the Moderates, are positive about the government's proposal.

- It can definitely be good.

It was to give the government the opportunity to get through this type of thing that we helped them to put in place the temporary crisis law this spring, says Tobias Billström (M), group leader in the Riksdag.

However, he thinks that the government's proposal comes late.

- The question one can ask is why the government did not act because the crisis law was never used.

To now come to the conclusion that the law of order is not sufficient does not feel so forward-looking, says Billström.

SD: "On time"

The Sweden Democrats have been waiting for a proposal for a temporary pandemic law, the party leader states.

"It simply came to our notice then.

We said early in the spring that the government must urgently review legislation that limits the room for maneuver in a crisis, "says Jimmie Åkesson in a written comment.

C: Not a pandemic team

The Center Party is very critical of the government's proposal.

The party goes so far as to say that government proposals should not be called pandemic laws at all.

- We demand a pandemic team.

They call it a pandemic team.

We call it something else, says Anders W Johansson (C), first vice chairman and group leader in the Riksdag.

It has also taken too long, he believes.

- The criticism is that they take too long.

And basically it does not solve (the proposal) how to effectively fight infection, says Anders W Johansson.

He says that the Center Party proposed in the Social Affairs Committee that the Riksdag should demand that the government quickly get a pandemic legislation in place.

"The possibilities for maintaining infection control measures must be at the center, not a random division in terms of infection control of the type of activity that is affected," it is stated in the Center's proposal dated 14 October.
