If we don't receive this concession, then it will surely mean that wherever a reindeer is spotted, nothing can ever be built. Next thing we know, those with building merchants, plant hire and fencing businesses will be going bankrupt. Sweden will begin to corrode! Lol.
The Sami does not own this land. It belongs to Sweden and all Swedes. We have satisfied the criteria for the granting of a concession, and there are other working mines which can be used as proof that mining and reindeer husbandry can coexist. Furthermore, we have in our favour, the Norra Karr ruling, Kallak being a significant distance away from Laponia, and the Lap buffer zone handily protects it from any activity outside of the idyll.
The Government must stick to the law, uphold it. We also know Damberg's comments. The door for further "off criteria" opinion must therefore now be firmly closed, in my view, as encouraging anything unwarranted at this stage, would only mean fuelling an already malfunctioning, ailing system, and, increasing the damage to our private company would surely make compelling reading in court.
In my opinion.
So, what'll it be?
Finally, I appreciate all views on here, but there appears to be an increase in conveyed negativity, in spite of the recent good, supportive news via RNS.
I find that quite bizarre.
Best wishes to all.
