the SEAL the secretary of defense has been pressed hard before and during the People and Defense national conference that the funding level is too low to be reduced from the spring of 2015 to implement without it pushed to new money.
It is a view now shared by all allianspartier and also of experts and senior military officers. The only difference is the assessment of how many new billion-as required. At the same time is a consensus, even from the Hultqvists page, if the security situation continues to deteriorate by the Russian military behaviour in the Baltic sea region.
However, defense minister Hultqvist do not at all listen to this dream would be underfunded. Instead he chose tactic that attack is the best defense, and both began and ended his speech from the stage in Sälen, with the combined attacks of the old circle from the Reinfeldtåren and against calls for increased defence spending.
– The eight years of the bourgeois ruling with a clear misjudgment of the situation in Russia, poor relations between the government and the armed Forces, the decision on a new system, despite the lack of clear impact assessments, combined with an unjustifiably self-confident attitude is left in the memory, slammed the defense minister.
the Conservatives försvarstalesman Hans Wallmark call for "humility" from the military side.
“It was a raljant introduction and the jars very badly when both Hultqvist and the prime minister in the past has talked about to achieve a broad consensus and seek consensus,” he says.
Allan Widman (L), president in the defence committee, believes that the Hultqvist went too far.
“It was deliberately provocative, the secretary of defense used the ten minutes to read the lusen of the alliance government,” says Widman.
Hultqvist himself had the century that he does not now intend to "engage in any form of public auction on penningnivåer to the defense".
– It will not happen from my side. I will not let myself driven back and forth in the kind of debates. Just so you know.

Instead stressed in Hultqvist (a)tt "it takes time to build military capability":
– new stock added to the fact the staff, it’s actually the infrastructure, it required actually training and it won’t happen overnight. This is the everyday grey of problems and to craft beyond debattsidor, the speed of political points and some sort of contest about who is right for the moment requires the highest increase of försvarsanslaget, said the defense minister.
The only – minimal – interstices Hultqvist left was that he can imagine "to discuss how we strengthen the military capability in a realistic manner, in consonance with the capacity of the armed Forces".
Now learn the requirements of more money still not quiet, despite the defence minister’s attempt to ranting at the mountain lodge with the visiting king Carl XVI Gustaf at first hand. A fact is that Hultqvist came empty-handed to the Seal and that it invites continued to battle on defence spending.
During the day were also held meeting with the parties behind the försvarsuppgörelsen. The assessment afterwards was that Hultqvist not, after all, had completely closed all the doors.
I brought up the requirement that we need to upgrade försvarsuppgörelsen. We need to add money this year and next year to increase the national defence capability. The talks will continue, ” says KD’s försvarstalesman Mikael Oscarsson.
The centre party försvarstalesman Daniel Bäckström:
” For our part, we have highlighted that we need to have a proper analysis as a baseline of where we stand now and also a material from the Swedish armed Forces where we can discuss concrete actions on.
