Wallström sågar indragna stödet: ”Är ganska arga”
Sidas beslut att stoppa Palmecentret från att söka biståndspengar är ett exempel på ideologisk styrning från regeringens sida. Det säger Palmecentrets ordförande Margot Wallström till Dagens ETC.
– Det är ett rent politiskt beslut. Vi är ganska arga.
Wallström pekar på en intervju med biståndsminister Benjamin Dousa (M) från i höstas, där han sa att regeringen planerade att stoppa Palmecentrets möjlighet att få pengar.
