In 1976, civil service responsibility was abolished by the then social democratic government in Sweden.
Uppsala, which is Sweden's 4th largest city, is currently being shaken by a huge scandal. An 84-year-old woman who is dependent on home care has been raped by a man hired to take care of her. In the autumn of 2023, the woman named Elsa reported to a manager in the home care service that the man in question had exposed himself several times in front of her.
Despite this, the municipality of Uppsala, which is governed by the Social Democrats, took no measures but let the man continue to work. In the spring of 2024, the man raped Elsa. After this came to light, further cases of rape against the elderly carried out by people employed in home care have been reported.
Today there will be a demonstration in support of Elsa outside the city hall in the city of Uppsala. Organizers Charlotte Wall and Maria Mattsson Mahl say quote "We want to give people an opportunity to gather to mark against the municipality's politicians and officials" unquote.
However, today's demonstration is opposed in several ways by, among others, the high-ranking social democratic politician Agneta Gille, who demanded that the organizers delete the criticism of the municipality from the demonstration and replace it with a protest against the "gender order" and "men's violence against women". Something the organizers will NOT comply with. In addition, Uppsala Municipality wants to move the demonstration away from Uppsala City Hall and for it to be held on a weekday afternoon instead of a Saturday.
Personally, I think that the main reason why the Uppsala municipality tried to cover up the incident is because the man in question is of Somali origin and that everyone responsible in the whole chain is afraid of being accused of racism, which means that these spineless people rather sacrifice an elderly and vulnerable woman than to risk exposing themselves to criticism and accusations.
