Control of support to civil society – Västerbotten Courier

The government faced tougher checks on organizations’ basic values ​​before tax money paid, writes Culture and Democracy Minister Alice Bah Kuhnke (MP) in Dagens Nyheter.

“Support to civil society and religious groups to deepen democracy, not undermine it,” she writes.

the government will take a series of measures. Among other things, support only paid to ethnic organizations in their activities to respect the ideas of democracy, such as equality and non-discrimination. Although demands for democratic values ​​must be tightened for religious communities.

“We can never accept that taxpayers’ money is used to organize hatretorik and increased polarization” writes Bah Kuhnke.

These measures should clarify that “those who are taking part of community support also to live up to the trust and the democratic values ​​that are the basis for the joint societies”.
