"We have lost control of Swedish elderly care," says V leader Nooshi Dadgostar.
In any post-election government negotiations, V will demand that a deprivatisation commission for the entire welfare system be appointed based on the Norwegian model. The party also wants a new procurement law for tax-financed welfare. Among other things, only non-profit actors should be able to take part in procurements.
According to V, Sweden stands out in terms of the extent of private actors in tax-financed welfare. Almost 20 percent of activities are carried out by private actors, and large providers dominate. Instead of billions going to profit withdrawals, V wants the money to be used to hire more staff and improve working conditions.
"Not everything will be able to be done in a flash, but we don't need a procurement law that drives more profit-making actors," says economic policy spokesperson Ida Gabrielsson.
