The Moderates in Karlskrona want them, together with the Social Democrats, to submit a letter to the Minister of Justice and Home Affairs Morgan Johansson (S), to point out the unreasonably long waiting times to get a passport in Karlskrona.
- That people can not leave the country due to the long waiting times is a violation of privacy.
The first times to get a new passport are at the end of October.
This is a legal uncertainty that we can not accept, says Camilla Brunsberg (M).
She believes that it is important that Johansson (S) is made aware of the problem.
Brunsberg (M) invited the chairman of the municipal board, Sandra Bizzozero (S), to the letter.
- I think it is important that we moderates together with the political government show how catastrophic the situation is for all those who are in need of a passport, says Camilla Brunsberg (M).
Want to contact the police chief
When SVT Nyheter Blekinge reaches Sandra Bizzozero (S) in the evening, she instead proposes to invite Brunsberg (M) to contact the head of the police authority in Karlskrona as a first step.
- We have a good collaboration with the police here so what we need to do in a first step is to talk to them, talk about the problems with the long waiting times and ask what measures they intend to take to secure this process, says Bizzozero (S )
But the S-leader agrees with the opposition council that the current situation has consequences.
- If there are long waiting times, it affects our residents here and it can also affect our entrepreneurs to do work abroad, for example, she says.
If Bizzozero (S) does not want to be on the letter, Camilla Brunsberg (M) will raise it in the municipal board, where she believes there is a majority and that more people think they should raise the problem.
