Equality Minister Paulina Brandberg (L) believes that veiling very young children should be grounds for a report of concern.
– My personal view is that every time a young child wears a veil, especially when it comes to really young children and especially when it is also parents who combine it with putting pressure on staff that the child is not allowed to play with boys on the break. Every time it happens, I think it should be grounds for reporting concern to the social service, so that the social service can really intervene, says Brandberg to SR Ekot’s Saturday interview.
Parts of L want to see a headscarf ban for children in preschool and school, but the proposal was voted down at the party’s last national meeting.

Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri is said to support the tourism chief’s proposal for a fee to enter the steps of the famous baroque monument Trevi Fountain.
The ticket to the fountain is supposed to cost two euros, equivalent to SEK 22. But such a fee must first be approved by Rome’s city council.
The fee only applies to those who want to walk the nine steps to the fountain. Those who only go to Trevi square do not have to pay.
An SAS plane on its way to Umeå from Arlanda had to turn around on Friday evening after 30 minutes in the air, according to SAS.
The plane turned around after indications of technical problems and made a normal landing at Arlanda.
The passengers then had to change to another aircraft that was going to Umeå.
It should not be an engine failure but some other type of problem according to SAS.
– When there is an indication of a technical problem, it is not certain that it is actually a problem, but you have to be safe before the safe, writes Irena Busic, press spokesperson at SAS.
The plane must be examined by technicians.

– A man has been severely beaten with a stick in or adjacent to a workshop. The injuries should not be life-threatening and no one has been arrested, says Anders Bryngelsson, press spokesperson at the police’s regional command center.
The police have started a preliminary investigation into attempted murder or serious assault.
