The Environment and Climate Change and school segregation was at the center when the Green Party spokesperson Gustav Fridolin held its traditional sommartal in her native Vittsjö in northern Skåne.

Scattered but half-hearted applause was heard during the half-hour’s when Fridolin talked about everything from green jobs and Swedish export successes of juice centrifuges.

He also had time to comment on the weather, give a boot to the Left Party leader Jonas Sjöstedt, criticism of the MP on environmental issues and a tribute to former Moderate Party leader Fredrik Reinfeldt for his criticism of the consumption frenzy.

a restrained Fridolin and a rather “bland” sommartal, says Jonas Hinnfors , professor of political science at the University of Gothenburg.

– It was a speech that was very cautious and noncommittal, where he avoided all difficult questions. Moreover, he criticized hardly any other party says Hinnfors.

He believes that Fridolin consciously wanted to avoid criticism from both the Alliance and the left, after the recent turmoil.

– the focus was on the environment and lifestyle and it is an attempt to get back to the Green Party’s roots. At the same time, the speech was so general and Fridolin normally stick out your chin and spiced up the things do not seem to want or dare to do it this time. He kept a low profile.

As expected, the school issues a big item for the Education Minister. One of the main messages was that the Green Party wants to invest in special “bridge builder” in socially deprived areas, but also to have tougher penalties against throwing stones at the police.

– We must break school segregation, said Fridolin.

This may involve measures related to between 100 and 150 schools in 55 particularly vulnerable areas.

– We want to ensure that the school can manage to co-operate with the police and ensure that all students can get good work experience places and there requires resources. It should not take time away from the principal and teachers. We want to offer schools in the toughest areas of “bridge builder”.

They must relieve teachers and principals and ensure that cooperation between schools and the police, the community and other actors working for the prevention of crime, insecurity and absence.

the National Union of Teachers welcome to the proposal of specific employees in addition to the regular school staff who may have contact with, for example, social services.

– We think it is positive that it will enter other professions that can reinforce school. Now it is often the teacher and principal who will take care of all such contacts and it takes time away from other work, says Åsa Fahlén, president of the association.

Speaking mentioned Gustav Fridolin also a manifestation of the suburb Rissne in memory of the victims in Orlando that he and his family attended on Friday. Some girls had painted a bench in the colors of the rainbow as a number of guys tried to burn and it also became untidy later.

– This is where the brawl now stands between ordinary decent people who want to work, work in and love their neighborhood and a small clique of criminal and brats who want to take it back. It should be everyone’s safe area, said Fridolin.
