Swedish Govt tax row
NZPA-Reuter Stockholm Sweden’s frail coalition Government faced collapse yesterday after Conservative Party Ministers walked out over a dispute on income-tax reform. The Prime Minister (Mr Thorbjoern Faelldin) later postponed a decision on dissolving his Government and ..aid three solutions were possible -- the Government
could resign, elections could be called, or he could continue as leader with tacit Conservative support. He gave no clear indication of the path he might take and added: “Nor can I say how long it will take before I reach a decision.” The week-old Government crisis came to a head when the Conservative Party leader and Economics Minister (Mr Goesta Bohman) said
he and seven other party colleagues had resigned over a controversial tax accord. The three-party coalition of Conservatives, Liberals, and Centrists holds a oneseat majority over the Opposition Social Democrats and Communists in Parliament. The crisis came as the country faced the possibility bf a crippling strike in key sectors of the economy.
