Urban Granström (S), chairman of the municipal board in Nyköping, does not want to speculate on what Ostlänken's future looks like as a result of the motion.
- We need to check what this means.
The motion that was tabled yesterday says nothing about Ostlänken.
We continue to work on and assume that the decisions made earlier will also apply in the future.
What would be the consequences if Ostlänken is stopped?
- It is difficult to see the consequences at a glance.
A lot of money has been invested in projects and measures.
He says that discussions are currently being held to get a clear message out.
- If it's the Ostlänken that you need to figure out, it doesn't have to take many minutes.
SD in Nyköping positive to the motion
Sweden Democrats' group leader Malin Karlsson welcomes the right-wing parties' decision regarding the high-speed railway.
- The socio-economic gain of building this is not justifiable.
The money is needed elsewhere.
I hope it will be the same outcome for Ostlänken.
This summer, construction started on a new travel center in Nyköping that will be connected to Ostlänken.
- We thought it should have been paused for a while until we know how things will turn out with Ostlänken, says Malin Karlsson and continues:
- I don't even want to guess what the Ostlänken has cost so far - and they haven't even put the shovel in the ground.
