SWEDEN. New figures show that it is mainly the municipalities with social-democratic governance that benefit from the government's policy to relocate all or part of the Stockholm authorities. Offshoring is also criticized for being expensive and leading to a skills strike among the competent authorities.
In recent years, the government has entrusted 20 different authorities with the task of transferring all or part of their Stockholm operations. The idea is that rents and other costs will be lower while small municipalities will benefit from the fact that high-income jobs are transferred from the capital to the outside of the country.
However, general managers are skeptical and half of them warn of a skilled strike when it is time to move. It is then that many employees choose not to accompany the move. Another problem is that the authorities do not receive any financial support for the move. A competent authority is the Authority for Youth and Civil Affairs (MUCF), which will move to Växjö

Twenty-five of them are in municipalities with a chairman of the Social Democrat Municipal Council. Only 3 of the municipalities have a moderates chair. The asymmetrical distribution raises questions about how the distribution decision was made. Social Democrats defend relocation after a report from the State Office. However, the moderators who oppose the relocation of authorities are skeptical about the outcome.
– Government authorities play a key role in the execution of their main tasks. Do not be a tool in sparsely populated politics. In addition, there is a risk that the attractiveness of the state as an employer deteriorates, "says Tobias Billström .
He adds that so many authorities find themselves in socially democratic communes:

The Social Democrats are criticized by the unions
The Saco-S unions criticize the government decision to leave the government. We are skeptical about the loss of competence and efficiency that resettlement means. It is believed that instead of relocating existing authorities, new authorities should be established outside Stockholm so as not to disrupt the operation. The lack of funds to make the move and the short time that the authorities take to implement the decision are highlighted as deeply problematic.
