Majority in the Riksdag for uranium mining
PUBLISHED TODAY 06:20
The Liberals have taken a position to allow uranium mining in Sweden. There is thus a majority in the Riksdag to lift the ban, reports TV4's Nyheterna.
- Sweden has its own responsibility to be able to extract the uranium that is in Sweden, says L leader Johan Pehrson.
The decision was taken by the party leadership.
The Riksdag decided in 2018 to ban mining and exploration. M, KD and SD went to the polls the same year to lift the ban, but L has previously hesitated. The Riksdag will take up the issue in March.
