The Stockholm City Council has rejected the US embassy’s demand that it adopt the Trump administration’s anti-diversity policies, with Stockholm’s vice-mayor for planning calling the request “bizarre”. Several European nations and cities have slammed US efforts to force its anti-DEI policies on the continent.
Presumptuous idiots!!!!!!!!!!
In an email to the city’s planning office dated April 29, the US embassy asked that Stockholm officials sign a document promising that contractors would not operate any programmes promoting DEI that would violate current US law.
“It’s so bizarre,” Jan Valeskog, Stockholm’s vice-mayor for city planning, told the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter on Tuesday.
The city council said Friday that it would not comply with the embassy’s demands or offer an official response.
“We were really surprised, of course,” Valeskog told The Associated Press.
“We will not sign this document at all, of course not.”
