Fredrik Carlsson, CEO of welding and forging workshop Frabe industri, listened to Ebba Busch's (KD) press conference through headphones in the workshop.
When the news came, he called the company's owner.
- We told each other that we won't be any wiser from this, he says.
Based on the information received so far about what the support might look like, he had expected around SEK 250,000 in compensation.
But it's not something he took for granted.
- I have not counted on a budget based on an election promise, it feels a bit daring.
Had hoped for an answer from the government
The new government said during the election campaign that an announcement about the electricity subsidy would come on November 1 this year.
Something that did not happen and no answer to the question came during today's press conference either.
- What she really said was that they hadn't come up with anything.
It would be good if we could get something to follow regarding, among other things, quotations.
It was a long press conference to say that "it is a difficult situation".
