Criticism of the Municipal Executive Board and the Education Committee in the municipality of Uppsala for interrupting a questioning with a headteacher by a journalist

A communications officer and an area manager in the municipality of Uppsala interrupted a questioning that a journalist was conducting with a headteacher at a municipal preschool.

The Parliamentary Ombudsman notes that the officials prevented the headteacher from exercising his constitutionally protected freedom to communicate information and criticises the Municipal Executive Board and the Education Committee of the municipality of Uppsala for this.
