the Echo can now reveal to the armed Forces after the discussion, received a new assignment to provide additional information. It came in three weeks ago to the government. But that was not enough to convince the state department.
After the meeting today, chaired by the minister for foreign affairs Margot Wallström, speaks a lot for that defense minister Peter Hultqvist, who takes over the issue of the lease of the ports.
From being viewed as a possible security threat to Sweden, the question then have been transformed to only a defence policy issue.
the state Department would reportedly to the Echo to take his hand away from the issue.
the Meeting today with the island, and the Karlshamn leading politicians will be a briefing.
the Lease of the ports is a municipal question in which the local self-government comes. The government can’t decide, but can provide information on the situation.
The possibilities that have been discussed to prevent Nord Stream 2 from to rent is, for example, that the state would go in and rent ports at the same price, around sek 50 million for the Slite harbour. But any news on the issue is expected today.
the government Could decide to somehow stop the lease says the Russian Nord Stream 2 that the pipes will be used to temporarily store on the other way, and construction of the 120 km long dubbelledningen in the Baltic sea between Russia and Germany can still be carried out.
