"NATO adaptation is undemocratic"
Tommie Ullman
44 signatories from the cultural and political sector
writes in a debate article in Svenska Dagbladet today
that they are worried that Sweden will gradually join
NATO without any debate.
They write: “Behind the people’s back, there has been
a hidden adaptation to NATO. The process has now gone
so far so NATO that supporters can say that Sweden is
already a member ninety percent (…) so we can as well
take the last step to full membership”
The writers establish that more than twice as many
Swedes are against NATO membership than those who are
in favor of it.
They claim that the slow adaptation, which might
logically end up in a full membership, is undemocratic
and lacks transparency.
They therefore demand a “citizens commission with the
duty to monitor the adoption process and its
consequences for our security and democracy.”
Among those who have signed the article are the names
of former Left party leader Gudrun Schyman and former
member of the Swedish and European parliament Per
Gahrton from the Green Party.
