I would add some pointers:
* Sweden doesn’t have anything equivalent to martial law.
* the government have in general very weak power to enforce rules that effect the population and all changes to current law must pass through their parliament. (This has though due to the current situation been relaxed in certain areas, a decision that went through the parliament).
- anticensor 7y ago> Sweden doesn’t have anything equivalent to martial law. This may be true, but is there nothing resembling any emergency governance procedure, either?
- he0001 7y agoNo, apparently they had to construct a emergency procedure for this particular incident by going through and change the laws necessary to handle this pandemic. The whole opposition was in on those changes. Though most of it is to be able to circumvent laws like: they wanted to build a field hospital but to do that they need to have a permit which they didn’t have/get when they needed it. That delayed things. This is a just an example. Also these those changes have a time limit, but could be extended through parliament.
