Abuse inquiry: City defers to state investigation.

Liberal Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm thoroughly investigate its involvement in the former Eolshäll boys' home, where boys were abused from the 1970s to the 1990s, and explore compensation for victims, drawing inspiration from the Norwegian "rettferdsvederlag" model. However, the majority, represented by the reporting City Commissioner, believes the issue is too complex for the City to investigate alone, suggesting a new state-led inquiry into historical neglect would be more appropriate given the multiple institutions and municipalities involved and evolving responsibilities over time.
