“Get more municipalities to follow. “”
“the municipality of Vellinge has been given the green light by the Supreme administrative court to introduce local bans on begging, for example.”
“the Question is how many municipalities that follow after.”
“Sweden’s municipalities and county councils (SKL) think that it is good that the legal issue now pending.”
“– this sentence establishes that the municipalities can impose regulations aimed at prevention. The examination of what is disturbing the peace falls on the municipalities themselves, ” says Germund Persson, general counsel at SKL, TT.”
“But there can be no question of any general prohibition, he says; the judgment only applies to certain specific parts of a municipality.”
“SKL does not have any idea of how many municipalities might want to impose tiggeriförbud.”
“Kungsbacka, sweden and Eskilstuna, sweden is already underway with variations. But few additional bans are on the wallpaper when the TT calling around to several of the country’s larger municipalities.”
“In Gothenburg was voted the a M-the proposal tiggeriförbud down in the municipal government of a year ago. But despite the fact that the Alliance has taken over, it is not likely that the proposal put forward again the nearest time, according to the president of Axel Josefson (M):”
” It is good that we have got it clarified how the courts look at the law. But then we have from the Conservatives hold argued in favour of a national ban.”
“In Uppsala, talking with the president of Erik Pelling (S) rather that fix the problems.”
“– We have a job where the municipal social services and the police work in outreach together, and talking with those who are begging in their own language. We are happy to tell you more, for example, the municipality of Vellinge about it, for it has worked very well.”
“Not in Stockholm, it is in the news with tiggeriförbud.”
” We are agreed in the green & blue cooperation, that we shall not introduce a municipal tiggeriförbud. This court ruling will change nothing in the perception, ” says Jan Jönsson (L), socialborgarråd in Stockholm.”
” Have you come here under the free movement within the EU and choose to make a living this way, it’s not something that should be banned.”
“For Kristoffer Tamsons, trafiklandstingsråd (M) and chairman of the Storstockholms lokaltrafik (SL), the judgment is a step in the right direction. But it does not solve what he sees as a problem with begging in SL:s traffic. The regulatory framework is different for municipalities and public transport, ” he explains:”
“– Where we see no opening, we think that clarification is required in statute now. It is a strange situation, the municipalities can prohibit begging outside the subway, but we must not ban it inside the tunnelbanevagnen.”
“He and the Conservatives want to ban begging.”
” We have seen a long time that it creates problems with insecurity. Public transportation should not be an alternative welfare offices, it is not the idea, says the Tamsons.”
“Norrköping plan no prohibition, according to Lars Stjernqvist (S), chairman of the municipal executive board.”
” Our stance has been to say no to bans, but yes to Eskilstuna model, with the control of which is begging, and for what purpose.”
“The model is more appropriate, like Stjernqvist:”
“– It will be easier to fix the problem itself, that people will come here and live under unacceptable conditions in our country. It will be easier to fix if you know what they are and why they collect money.”
“the city of Malmö, announces that you do not have any say in the matter and therefore do not want to comment on it.”
