The Director-General of the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority is in trouble after Expressen's revelation that the authority had disclosed sensitive security information without secrecy review, through its e-service, until May.
On Tuesday, Susanne Ås Sivborg had a meeting with Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD).
Afterwards, Carlson had no information about Ås Sivborg's future.
"We still do not have all the information, and we need to evaluate the new data as well to ensure the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority's important functions. The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority has a board meeting tomorrow, and then we will have a dialogue with the board's chairman," says Carlson in a written comment to TT.
He further states that Ås Sivborg has provided some clarifications on several points.
"At the same time, I must note that the pictures of what happened in different phases differ."
"Have not got all the answers"
Earlier in the day, Ås Sivborg was questioned by the Riksdag's Civil Committee.
I cannot say that we got all the answers we wanted, said Committee Chairman Malcolm Momodou Jallow (V) afterwards.
I do not think it is self-evident that she can remain, said Jennie Nilsson (S).
The security risks led to the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority shutting down digital services in May. This has resulted in new problems.
The situation that has arisen involves enormous risks for community building and community planning. Investments are being withheld, and projects are not getting started, said Nilsson.
She stated that there is a "total stop" for the digital release of information. This includes information needed, for example, to create detailed plans and project buildings.
"Shake the bars"
Expressen also revealed new details on Tuesday about how Ås Sivborg tried to conceal the extent from the Government Offices.
During a meeting at the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority in May, the former security protection chief Peter Wengrud recommended that she shut down the digital services, something he had previously urged due to defense secrets in the archive.
When that decision was not made, another manager said that it "gives her a stomachache and that she sees herself shaking the bars in the future," according to meeting notes.
Ås Sivborg was asked by a manager about the strategy for the dialogue with the Government Offices. She then said "that the total picture has not been deliberately communicated to the Government Offices, and that this was a strategic choice."
In a comment to Expressen, she writes that "the descriptions that have been presented do not give a complete or objective picture of our work or our decisions."
