Now you are forgetting the part where the Danish postal service was bleeding money. This is partly due to their severance/retirement packages.

After the merger the economic troubles have continued. Where the danish part have been responsible for the losses and the Swedish part for the profits. So in effect the Swedish people are subsidizing the irresponsible economic decisions of the danish postal service.

But we are starting to lose focus on the person that the Swedes should hold responsible for this, Maud Olofsson.

I think you might be misunderstanding me. I’m not trying to attack the danish people in any way.

What I’m trying to say is this.

1. Sweden had a great postal service and Denmark not so much
2. A incompetent Swedish politician got us into a crap deal
3. Now both Sweden and Denmark has crappy postal service
4. And just as you point out, Sweden is now stuck paying for 60% percent of this clusterfuck while Denmark only pays for 40%.

No wonder the Danish people often is considered some of the happiest in the world.

I’m also trying to remind people that things like this is what happens when you elect politicians that don’t have the peoples interests in mind. And looking at the current people in charge such a reminder is unfortunately highly relevant.

Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.
