Senior Housing Fika: Alcohol Rule Solution Found
Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (Left Party) about residents at Micasa's senior housing Väduren no longer being allowed an after-dinner drink with coffee at self-organized Thursday get-togethers. The Centre Party views this as unnecessary paternalism that hinders a valued social activity for adults. Torun Boucher responded that the city adheres to alcohol laws, requiring a serving permit if the district administration organizes the event, but a solution has been found: residents can continue their "cognac fika" by organizing it themselves in the common room, without the city as organizer. This solution respects both the law and residents' wishes.
