As DN reported, you risk the defense that the crack on the disagreement on defence spending years in 2021-25. It occurs only three weeks before the committee shall submit its final report on 14 may.
the Preparation and the conclusion has been that the worse omvärldsläget requires a stronger civil and military defence. It means 50% higher defence spending in 2025, compared with today. But the now – 27 months into the work – has the minister for defence Peter Hultqvist (S) intervened and created uncertainty about the economy.
– There is no preparation that questioned or objected against the evidence we have had, until now, when it starts to tremble. You can’t sit and formulate something according to a certain condition, and then land on something else entirely. I have never been with, say, the Conservatives defence policy spokesperson Beatrice Ask. She adds:
– There is a good chance for us to become consistent, but it requires that you talk about what it is, marks the she.
and the dimensioning of the defence long-term development has been based on a level of appropriations which is equivalent to 1.6 percent of gross domestic product by the year 2025. It is that level that determine what preparation want to bet on – and what it bargained away. Today, Sweden is 1.0 per cent – the lowest of its neighbouring countries.
” We will not lay us under the base plate as the defense has been on. That we are at a level of 1.5 to 1.6 per cent of gross domestic product in our budgetmotioner is well known, ” says Beatrice Ask.
minister for Defence Peter Hultqvist has suggested that it should be negotiated on the committee’s conclusions and on a lower finances before a parliamentary decree in 2020. But it rejects (M):
defense Minister Peter Hultqvist, and ultimately, prime minister Stefan Löfven must select: A how to if you look at the defense and two how looks at the economic level. Right now we don’t know if the democrats have any idea. We have a clear mandate from our partiledning and know what we are allowed to negotiate on, ” says Hans Wallmark (M) who is also a member of the committee.
– The more the government deviates and find on the other things the greater is the risk for the government that their försvarsproposition not go through parliament. And the risk is real, it is not hypothetical, says the former minister of defence, Karin Enström (M).
