Regional Councilor Kenneth Backgård (SJVP) believes that the inauguration rather shows that the region is investing in, for example, psychiatry.

The new psychiatric house is close to his heart because he himself has a background as a psychologist.

- I think it's a shame to destroy an inauguration like this where they have actually invested in psychiatry, he says.

"Mockery?

On the contrary"

And the regional council does not understand that some thought the inauguration was distasteful.

- I do not feel that it is a mockery.

On the contrary, I really appreciate the staff here and the work they do, he says.

In the video, the regional council responds to the criticism from the staff.
