One has to have sympathy for Baylan.
Sweden has been criticised for the way it handled Covid. Sweden has slipped badly down the rankings from the Frazer institute as a mining friendly area. The Kallak area has suffered population decline for some time and youngsters tend to seek work elsewhere.
Is there something That could be done to help the locals? Is there a way to create jobs, improve infrastructure, mine in a clean and environmental way rather than mine/import iron ore from impure deposits possibly from the other side of the World? Can the fight against climate change be helped? Would an increasing population around Kallak build a better local economy, would the Sami have more demand in the local markets for their produce?
Is there some way Baylan could help out - possibly he could make a decision and earn his salary, help the locals and help his Country. It’s a tricky one!
