That should not really surprise anybody.

Sweden is a country where the right to take vacation takes precedence over any obligation to provide public services to the tax payer, including essential 24/7 ones. That's why there's hardly a traffic cop to be found on the roads when summer vacation traffic reaches it peak; half the precinct stations more or less close so half the cops can talk half the summer off; hospitals close entire wards for the same reason; and fire departments hire lots of summer temps who can't tell a hose from a rubber band.
