Jan Emanuel has directed sharp criticism against the electricity subsidy.
Now Energy and Food Minister Ebba Busch (KD) says she agrees with him.
– It is not a dignified system, she says TV4 News morning.
Among other things, Jan Emanuel believes that the support has been directed to the wrong people.
– It is something that the government itself takes the initiative for. Here (with the electricity support) we start from a square EU system, where we cannot make that kind of difference, says Busch and continues:
– Jan Emanuel does not need a single more crown, but this family with children would need more, and it is based on the fact that the more you have paid into the system, the more you are entitled to get back. And that’s why I say this, it’s not a worthy system. A welfare system should not continue with electricity subsidies.
