Its clear to most people that this unesco report was just one sided or fabricated because how could the sami get the unesco report before beowulf did? did the goverment leak? This unesco report can not be taken seriuously plus it also did not mention anything about removing the world heritage status if a mine is created so the report can not be used against it. the report is just full of potentials and maybes and did not mention a singel concret example of why and how a mine would be bad for laponia that is almost 40 km away!
our swedish city helsingborg is 10km from the danish city of helsingø but we dont ask the danes for any persmissions nor do they ask us.
The big hope i have is that we get that extra election asap and that the right wing parties get the majority seats.
In a recent polling study for this month of june the three right wing parties would get 177 seats of the 175 required to form a majority goverment. The rightwing parties are Moderaterna, Sverige demokraterna and Kristdemokraterna.

There is also hope that a party called center could perhaps rejoin to the rightwing aswell.
The absolutly best news of this article is that the polling study shows that the green party ( miljö partiet) would only get 3% of the votes wich would put them under the 4% requirment to join the goverment. I hope that they dissapear and never come back. The have totaly destroyed multiple busniess areas, mining for one , air ports, powerplants, gasoline prices etc the list would be to long to count. They are the real villans in this drama and with them gone the road will open.
The social democrat want a mine because it would give people jobs and work wich means more members in their unions and more votes for them. Its the green party that are holding them back otherwise they would not be in power because it was a minority government.
Yes i live in sweden.
Your question is very difficult to answer because i think its not baylan thats the problem but rather the green party (miljö partiet) that is pulling his strings in the background. baylan is only a messenger playing the role of a fall guy or a "bad guy" that people can point their fingers at. I am 100% convinced that kurt and his team already have spoken with the goverment about the next steps to be taken. This letter that kurt sent in is just so that the market can see the company reaction.
Only a day or two after the unesco rapport came out the right wing politicians sent baylan two questions for him to answear.
One is " However, the Government has referred to the need for UNESCO to comment on the nearby Laponia World Heritage Site, which has now been received. Based on the opinion of UNESCO, it can be concluded that a possible mine in Kallak will not threaten the World Heritage Site. It has been almost four years since the decisions on Kallak landed on the government's table, but so far nothing has happened. It is this kind of tardiness that has caused us to lose so much in reputation as a mining nation.
In view of this, I would like to ask Minister for Economic Affairs, Ibrahim Baylan:
Is it the Minister's intention to now give a statement regarding Kallak?"

And ” When did the Ministry of Economic Affairs receive the reply from UNESCO, and has the reply been forwarded outside the ministry before Beowulf became aware of the contents of the letter?

Could someone please upload the Swedish chat board. I seem to have lost it and this could now getting interesting for Beowulf. Thank you.
Now demand a vote on continued EU membership.. Here’s your chance to have your voice heard! atb…
It seems you are Swedish and certainly more familiar with the govt system than most of us here. How long do you think KB should wait before following up on his letter to Baylan, or is Baylan history with the PM ?

The result means a collapse of the Social Democrat's minority coalition government with the Green Party.
Now, in a second ironic twist, housing debates could well slide much further down the political agenda, with either a snap election or cross-party talks to form a new government more likely to focus on what Lofven's centre-right opponents view as more pressing issues, such as the country's economic recovery after the pandemic, rising violent crime and immigration.
xeno 79 thank you for a first class post ,good luck
Thanks for the insight Xeno. Sounds very upbeat both for Sweden and for us.
Everything you have written is completly wrong.
The socialst party goverment is now over. the vote is clear. 181 voted to shut down the goverment and 109 voted against it.
Now the prime minister stefan löven has 1 week to decide if he wants to resign himself and let an offical to declare a new primeminister or try to stay in power by invoking a new election that will be held 3 months from now.
Being a power hungry politican he will most surely try to win in the election this september.
This is a great day for all that care about sweden haveing a bright future because there is a big chance now that the blue party will become the dominant one and a lot more buisness friendly.
Aka our permits will be granted asap without delay.
i thought first it was only a political charade but the threath fro the communist became real and FINALLY we can kick out the clows and put in people with proper education and know how to rebuild our country. Hopefully the new prime minister will be ulf kristersson from the party moderaterna. He will be a fantastic leader.
If a PM who has lost a no confidence vote is allowed to form a caretaker government for 15 months, what does that say about the self serving, corrupt and dysfunctional swedish constitution? These pillocks have inbuilt protection against incompetence.
The no confudence vote means nothing.
I thought he'd survived a vote of no confidence before and headed up a caretaker government before the last election? How is it I think that...can anyone remember?
After losing the vote of no confidence Lofven has 1 week to whether to call a snap election or resign. As politicians seem to do anything to hold onto power for as long as possible he may well call for an election. At least he has achieve one thing-the first Swedish PM to lo lose a no confidence vote. I have been in property all my working life and the inevitable consequence of politicians trying to control the demand side (or overtaxing the supply side) is a halt on the supply side. It then becomes impossible to control the demand pressures. Maybe everyone can be encouraged to move from Stockholm to Jokkmokk!!
Just at this moment anything could happen.
I was hoping that KB would be keeping the pressure up for something sooner.
we were never going to get a decision until the next election - UNESCO was just another delaying tactic. So today's news is still good - this government have been appalling for the Swedes - one of the worst in dealing with Covid and incapable of making a decision to save their lives. good riddance hopefully.
yes, he can officially do what he has been unofficially doing..............nothing......hahaha
If Lofven gets to lead the caretaker government he'll be in his dream job....no decisions necessary.
I think I read in the news that if there is a snap election, there will still be election September.
If he calls an election...I think there will still be another election is September 22.
There are too many Parties...they should have raised the bar a bit...otherwise you just get weak governments beholden to everybody.
Roller....This could very well delay the decision because a Caretaker Government will not make decisions that are not emergencies...though Jokkmokk might regard it as an emergency. But "everything will have to be resubmitted" isn't true, it's already submitted and it remains submitted, it's a matter for the law not politics.
That's definitely the good news...the MP are polling only 3.5% so they'd be out... that would be a big hurrah!
Andy, the Swedes are saying this will or could delay our decision by possibly years as EVERYTHING will need resubmitting and looking at.. what's your thoughts please..
Yes I sort of figured that caretaker govt would probably mean no decision....
Morning Wots...Right definitely and I regret having to admit that cos I incline just a little to the Left myself. However, it's not so good if we have a caretaker government, we've already had one of those and it could be that no decision will be made until after the next election and we've already been there as well.
