Sweden Democrats want new laws tested for rural impact, inspired by Norway

The Sweden Democrats want all new legislation to be assessed for its impact on rural areas.

The proposal is part of SD's rural policy and SD leader Jimmie Åkesson is presenting it during an election tour along the Göta Canal. The first stop is Söderköping, where he will also hold a press conference.

We believe that this proposal could have a very significant impact on the possibility of living in rural or sparsely populated areas, he says.

The inspiration comes from Norway, where similar rules already exist. The aim is to detect and compensate for negative consequences of proposals, or to prevent the legislation from being implemented.
