Hultqvist calls Trafikverket's Sälen rejection tone-deaf

Peter Hultqvist (S), former defense minister and MP from Borlänge, sharply criticizes Trafikverket's decision to deny Sälenfjällens airport preparedness status. Three airports, including Sälen, were rejected in the investigation. Hultqvist calls it tone-deaf and strange.

Trafikverket investigated designating preparedness airports and rejected all three applications, including from Sälenfjällens airport. The decision has prompted political reactions.

Peter Hultqvist (S), MP from Borlänge and former defense minister, describes it as tone-deaf. He finds it strange that Sälen was denied the status, as reported by moratidning.se. Hultqvist voices strong criticism of the investigation's conclusions.

The issue concerns the airports' role in preparedness contexts, but Trafikverket assessed that they do not meet the requirements. The article is reported by Eric Salomonsson in Dala-Demokraten.
