Tuesday’s Lucia procession from Bollnäs University was canceled by the chairman of the regional council, Mattias Eriksson Falk (SD), on the grounds that it was not a traditional Lucia procession. Lucian was non-binary and does not identify as female.
Now the Left Party and the Green Party report Mattias Eriksson Falk to the discrimination ombudsman.
– Region Gävleborg has policies and routines in place to investigate and handle suspicions of discrimination. It is regulated which measures and possible support efforts need to be activated if violation or discrimination occurs, says Fredrik Åberg-Jönsson (V), chairman of the personnel committee, in a press release.
