The Social Democrats have chosen to stop telephone sales of lottery tickets while waiting for the company Kombispel to “get to the bottom of” the information that dubious sales methods were used. According to DN’s review, the sellers have targeted confused elderly people and hidden the fact that the buyers commit to subscriptions.
– What has emerged is extremely serious and there is nothing in this that can be defended, says Hallengren in Current affairs.

The Social Democrats pause criticized the lottery sale
Why have you not ensured that the business is run in an honest manner?
– Our ambition is not in any way to impose on someone a lot they don’t want. We want to give anyone who wants to buy a ticket an opportunity to be able to support the Social Democrats, we have had no other ambition.
– We assume that whoever does this does what we have ordered and that is clearly not the case.
But the question remains: Why haven’t you made sure that this business has worked in a good way?
– Like many others, we have hired a telemarketing company with whom we have now paused all cooperation. There is every reason for these telemarketing companies to investigate themselves. And for all of us who use them, to ponder, is it possible to do so in the future, it is not certain.
Do you need to research yourselves?
– We need to get to the bottom of what happened. Could we have done something differently? We have not given the business the task of selling lottery tickets at any price, and with any methods. On the contrary.
