During the 1940s, the Social Democrats had a social minister, Gustav Moller, who started the expression "every wasted tax krona is a theft from the people".
Between the years 2014-2022 we had a Social Democratic government that governed together with the Green Party. During these 8 years, they did nothing to improve the conditions of crime victims to receive their compensation.
Instead, criminals could receive high damages from the state due to wrongful prison terms even though they were actually found guilty of the crimes.
For example, during 2017 a criminal was awarded just over $71,500 in damages when he claimed that he was a minor at the time of the crime and was thus imprisoned for too long.
Although both of his victims were awarded damages from him, the state was not allowed to withhold this money from his damages, which were paid in full.
To this day, he has not paid the restitution to his crime victims. To top it off, it later emerged that the documentation he presented as proof of his age was most likely forged.
Mr Moller would be spinning in his grave if he could see Sweden now.
