He still assumes that the parliamentary group will now vote yes to the bill.
– It is clear during this process that you have different opinions, we usually have that in different substantive issues and also in this one. But now we have landed on the fact that it is a well-balanced proposal that we put forward in the autumn, so I don’t see any problems before the vote.
