“The opportunity to participate, but also the opportunity to be seen and heard in Almedalen is now largely determined by the size of your wallet.
Which is the complete opposite of why Almedalen Week was started.
This is not how it can continue ", writes Magnus Manhammar (S) in a motion.
He refers to the fact that prices for housing and premises have soared, which limits the opportunity for many to participate in the democratic conversation.
The proposal: Visiting different municipalities
Furthermore, the Blekinge politician proposes that the political week should instead be moved out into the country and visit different municipalities every year.
- For me, the most important reason is that the policy week, by moving to a new place every year, becomes available to many more people throughout Sweden, says Magnus Manhammar (S) in a press release.
