Eolshäll Boys' Home Abuse: City Investigation and Compensation

Motion proposers Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) request that the City of Stockholm investigates its involvement in the operations at the Eolshäll boys' home, where boys were subjected to abuse from the 1970s to the 1990s, and also examines possible compensation measures. They argue that new information indicates the city had clear supervisory and payment responsibilities. However, the majority believes the issue is too complex for the city to investigate alone and that a national inquiry, possibly with a model similar to Norway's "rettferdsvederlag" (fairness compensation), would be better to provide redress for the victims.
