The work on a cultural canon has been heavily debated. In an interview with Sveriges Radio's Culture News, Lawen Redar, cultural policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats, expresses sharp criticism of the work on the cultural canon.

Since it does not intend to take into account the minorities' perspective, says Lawen Redar to Kulturnytt.

Last week, Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand (M) commented on the committee's work in the Riksdag and stated that the investigator Lars Trädgårdh "has expressed himself inappropriately in contact with parts of the national minorities", reports Kulturnytt.

Subsequently, the Minister of Culture's State Secretary has tried to get the committee's chairman to more clearly follow the Riksdag's directives. Lawen Redar believes that the government is thereby deviating from its promise of "double arm's length distance" between politics and cultural life.

Now they are not satisfied with how the investigator is working and then they should start getting involved in the content as well. It is a very strange work that is going on at the Ministry of Culture, says Lawen Redar to Kulturnytt.
