development aidsstödet till Hepatica och Olof Palmes Internationella Center
Filed by: Johan Büser (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:408 Biståndsstödet till Hepatica och Olof Palmes Internationella Center av Johan Büser (S) till Bistånds- och utrikeshandelsminister Benjamin Dousa (M) Dagens Nyheter har i två uppmärksammade granskningar visat att Sverigedemokraternas biståndsorganisation Hepatica får drygt 23 miljoner kronor
Why It Matters: This interpellation exposes tensions within the governing coalition over foreign aid distribution. Dagens Nyheter revealed that the Sweden Democrats' aid organisation Hepatica receives over SEK 23 million in state funding — raising questions about whether aid minister Benjamin Dousa (M) is allowing coalition partner SD to channel development funds to politically aligned organisations at the expense of established bodies like the Olof Palme International Center.
Samsjuklighet
Filed by: Eva Lindh (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:407 Samsjuklighet av Eva Lindh (S) till Socialminister Jakob Forssmed (KD) Människor med samsjuklighet psykisk ohälsa i kombination med beroende är en av de mest utsatta grupperna i vårt samhälle. I dag möter de ett splittrat system där ansvar och huvudmannaskap är otydligt och där vården alltför
Why It Matters: People with co-occurring mental health disorders and substance abuse face a fragmented care system with unclear institutional responsibilities. This interpellation challenges Social Minister Jakob Forssmed (KD) on why the government has not addressed the split between municipal and regional healthcare mandates — leaving Sweden's most vulnerable patients falling between the cracks of the welfare system.
Flygförbindelsen Kramfors-Arlanda
Filed by: Peter Hedberg (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:406 Flygförbindelsen Kramfors–Arlanda av Peter Hedberg (S) till Infrastruktur- och bostadsminister Andreas Carlson (KD) Trafikverket har nu i en rapport meddelat att man inte anser att trafikplikten för flyglinjen Kramfors–Arlanda kan fortsätta utan att mer ekonomiska resurser skjuts till. Regeringen
Why It Matters: Trafikverket has declared that the Kramfors–Arlanda public service obligation cannot continue without additional funding. This interpellation is part of a broader pattern of S-party MPs from northern Sweden pressing Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD) on the government's commitment to regional connectivity — with three separate domestic flight route interpellations filed in the same week, signalling a coordinated opposition strategy on transport policy.
government grant till idrottsföreningar med koppling till vänsterextremism
Filed by: Jonas Andersson (SD)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:405 Statsbidrag till idrottsföreningar med koppling till vänsterextremism av Jonas Andersson (SD) till Socialminister Jakob Forssmed (KD) En uttalat socialistisk idrottsförening baserad i Malmö bedriver verksamhet inom olika typer av kampsporter såsom thaiboxning (muay thai), men också andra idrotter
Why It Matters: This SD interpellation raises concerns about state subsidies flowing to a Malmö-based socialist combat sports club allegedly linked to left-wing extremism. It reflects SD's broader strategy of using parliamentary oversight to scrutinise civil society organisations' ideological affiliations — pressing Social Minister Forssmed (KD) on whether democratic values conditions are being enforced in grant decisions.
Tryggheten för trossamfund
Filed by: Per-Arne Håkansson (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:403 Tryggheten för trossamfund av Per-Arne Håkansson (S) till Socialminister Jakob Forssmed (KD) I ett reportage i Sydsvenska Dagbladet nyligen redogjordes för omfattande svårigheter för religiösa samfund judiska, muslimska, katolska och ortodoxa att försäkra sina helgedomar och byggnader. I många
Why It Matters: Religious communities — Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, and Orthodox — face severe difficulties insuring their places of worship, as reported by Sydsvenska Dagbladet. This interpellation highlights how the insurance market's risk assessment of religious buildings has created a de facto barrier to religious freedom, pressing Social Minister Forssmed (KD) on the government's obligations to protect religious pluralism and community security.
Flyglinjen Östersund-Umeå
Filed by: Kalle Olsson (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:401 Flyglinjen Östersund–Umeå av Kalle Olsson (S) till Infrastruktur- och bostadsminister Andreas Carlson (KD) Trafikverket föreslår att kravet på allmän trafikplikt på flyglinjen mellan Åre Östersund flygplats och Umeå flygplats tas bort i samband med att nuvarande avtal löper ut hösten 2027.
Why It Matters: Trafikverket proposes removing the public service obligation on the Östersund–Umeå route when the current contract expires in autumn 2027. Combined with the Kramfors and Mora flight route interpellations, this creates a political pattern where three northern constituencies simultaneously face loss of air connectivity — testing whether the government's "whole Sweden shall live" policy is more than rhetoric.
Ändring av vindkraftspolitik
Filed by: vindkraftspolitik av Linus Lakso (MP)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:399 Ändring av vindkraftspolitik av Linus Lakso (MP) till Energi- och näringsminister Ebba Busch (KD) På en pressträff den 9 augusti 2023 sa klimatminister Romina Pourmokhtari följande: Regeringen ser att ny kärnkraft motsvarande minst tio konventionella reaktorer behöver tas i drift under 2030-
Why It Matters: MP challenges Energy Minister Ebba Busch (KD) on the government's pivot from wind power to nuclear energy. In 2023, climate minister Pourmokhtari stated that ten new nuclear reactors were needed by the 2030s — but the interpellation argues this nuclear bet has stalled wind power investment without delivering nuclear capacity, leaving Sweden's energy transition in limbo.
Flygförbindelsen Mora-Arlanda
Filed by: Marie Olsson (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:398 Flygförbindelsen Mora–Arlanda av Marie Olsson (S) till Infrastruktur- och bostadsminister Andreas Carlson (KD) Regeringen har uttalat att hela Sverige ska kunna leva och utvecklas. Samtidigt föreslår Trafikverket att den allmänna trafikplikten för flyglinjen mellan Mora Airport och Stockholm
Why It Matters: Trafikverket proposes ending the public service obligation for the Mora–Stockholm route. This is the third regional flight interpellation filed the same week, revealing a coordinated S-party accountability campaign. The government declared that "all of Sweden should be able to live and develop" — yet three northern airport communities face simultaneous service cuts, exposing a credibility gap between policy rhetoric and budget reality.
Hanteringen av jakttidsprocessen
Filed by: jakttidsprocessen av Tomas Kronståhl (S)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:397 Hanteringen av jakttidsprocessen av Tomas Kronståhl (S) till Landsbygdsminister Peter Kullgren (KD) Sverige har en lång tradition av ansvarsfull jakt och viltförvaltning. Den bygger på kunskap, lokal förankring och en balans mellan brukande och bevarande. Jägarna är en central del av detta
Why It Matters: Sweden's hunting tradition depends on a balance between utilisation and conservation. This interpellation challenges Rural Affairs Minister Peter Kullgren (KD) on the government's handling of the hunting season regulatory process — questioning whether local knowledge and long-standing wildlife management practices are being overridden by centralised decision-making at the expense of rural communities.
Begreppet islamofobi
Filed by: Richard Jomshof (SD)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:396 Begreppet islamofobi av Richard Jomshof (SD) till Utrikesminister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) Vi har de senaste årtiondena kunnat se hur världens islamister sakta men säkert har flyttat fram sina positioner. Liberal invandringspolitik har givit dem möjlighet att etablera sig över i stort sett
Why It Matters: SD chairman of the Riksdag's Civil Affairs Committee challenges Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) on Sweden's engagement with the concept of "Islamophobia" in international forums. This interpellation tests whether the governing Moderates will publicly align with SD's position that the term is used by Islamist movements to suppress legitimate criticism — a key ideological battleground within the coalition.
Havsbaserad vindkraft i Kattegatt
Filed by: Christofer Bergenblock (C)
Published:
Interpellation 2025/26:395 Havsbaserad vindkraft i Kattegatt av Christofer Bergenblock (C) till Energi- och näringsminister Ebba Busch (KD) Nu har regeringens antivindkraftspolitik skördat ytterligare ett offer när företaget OX2 beslutat att pausa havsvindprojektet Galene utanför Hallandskusten. Bakgrunden är precis
Why It Matters: OX2's decision to pause the Galene offshore wind project off the Halland coast is a direct consequence of government energy policy uncertainty. Centre Party MP Bergenblock argues that the government's anti-wind stance has claimed another victim — with real economic consequences for the energy transition and Sweden's ability to attract green energy investment in the Kattegatt region.
