Jan Björklund told that the Liberal Party will support the government’s announcement bill to abolish the allowance arouses strong feelings within the Christian Democrats. The grant is at the heart of the party.
– It is very unfortunate that the Liberal Party changing page and deselect alliance cooperation. We have made compromises within the Alliance, which other parties also have had to sacrifice things you might not think is the best, so that we have a common alliance line I think that creates a bad taste in the mouth, a little bit here, says Bengt Germundsson, member of the Christian Democrat Party Executive and Mayor of Markaryd.
How should the Liberal Party have acted?
– I think you would have followed the line to agreed on this issue, and who also voted for as late as December. It would have been more worthy of honor.
Just before Christmas hit a majority in the parliament consisting of the Alliance parties and the Sweden Democrats, held that the allowance should be left behind. The meaning of the so-called notice to the government is that parents who want to stay at home longer with their young children continue to be able to get up to 3000 dollars a month.
But despite that prepares the Minister for Social Annika Strandhälll a bill that the possibility of municipal childcare allowance should be abolished, which echo has reported on during the day. The issue is so fundamentally important that it should be considered by parliament again, she believes.
– The childcare allowance is indeed a very inefficient measure, which also entailed a lock-in effect for many women. Many are long-term unemployed, and many have a different ethnic background, says Annika Strandhäll.
The proposal to abolish the allowance looks to get support in parliament since the Liberal Party has decided to vote .
– it is placed as a standalone suggestions here later this year, so will the Liberal Party to support this. The childcare allowance has meant that especially low-skilled immigrant women choose to stay away from the labor market. It’s unfortunate because that is exactly the group that we need to get into the labor market, says party leader Jan Björklund.
For the Christian Democrats are childcare allowance a matter of the heart. Bengt Germundsson, member of the Democratic Party and Mayor of Markaryd, is one of those critical of the Liberal Party’s actions.
– It is clear that one is disappointed by the Alliance Party, which betrays a deal that is made between the four parties.
Markaryd is one of those municipalities that have adopted the child-raising allowance.
– It works just fine and I’ve met lots of very satisfied parents, who would like to see this expanded more, and that gave families an even greater freedom to choose when you think it’s time to leave the children in municipal or private childcare, which of course will be very disappointed with this.
