It has never happened before in our committee. The government parties are deviating from the principle of letting the opposition invite a minister to the committee to ask questions, says the Left Party's Tony Haddou, vice chairman of the social insurance committee, to the magazine.
V, S and MP reserved themselves against the decision, which was made on Tuesday. According to Tony Haddou, there are unanswered questions about what the minister knew about his son's activities and it remains to be seen how the parties will proceed.
We rule out nothing to get answers to our questions. That a minister does not come to the parliament to answer questions only raises more suspicion, he says to Expressen.
Passed the limit
This is what Viktor Wärnick, moderate chairman of the Social Insurance Committee, says:
"A limit of decency has been passed when V, MP and S want to use a trustee's minor child as a club in the political debate. We will of course not participate in this, since it has nothing to do with the minister's exercise of office or the committee's area of preparation".
Exposed
It was last summer that Expo exposed that a close relative of a minister had been active in right-wing extremist and Nazi contexts. Later, Johan Forssell stepped forward and said it was about his son.
According to the investigation, the son has, among other things, tried to recruit people to a white power organization and participated in activities with the Nazi and violent Aktivklubb Sverige.
The Left Party demanded, when the information became known, with the support of the Social Democrats and the Green Party, that Forssell be called to the committee "to put the cards on the table".
