Hundreds of S, V and MP candidates run limited companies in the welfare sector despite profit limits stance

Representatives of S, V and MP - parties that are running for election on stopping or limiting welfare profits - have 229 candidates in the election who run limited companies in the welfare sector, according to a review by Expressen.

One example is the care company Familjehemsguiden AB, which has distributed 10 million kronor over ten years. The majority of this has gone to Gerty Fexler Höjer - former V-group leader in Trosa municipality - and her husband Ulf Höjer. Both are V candidates in the municipal elections on 13 September.

"I myself am not completely against welfare profits, but there should be a limit on how much you can take out. You can ask my party colleagues what they think," Gerty Fexler Höjer tells the newspaper.

V leader Nooshi Dadgostar notes that dividends from welfare companies are legal today:

We want to make it illegal regardless of whether it is a Left Party member or a Sweden Democrat who is doing it.
