Sweden's national minorities have accused Lars Trägårdh's investigation into a Swedish culture canon of legal violations and oppression.
Invited to discuss the canon, minority representatives were disappointed by the lack of dialogue and influence in the process.
They plan to send a protest letter to the government, highlighting the exclusion as a breach of laws ensuring minority influence in relevant matters.
Trägårdh, who opposes group identity politics, views the meeting as informational, not consultative.
The controversy underscores tensions around the cultural canon, criticized by various cultural figures, and raises questions about inclusivity in Sweden's cultural narrative.
