Cecilia Malmström is leaving the Liberals because of the Tidö agreement, she says to SVT's 30 minutes. Liberal Party leader Johan Pehrson regrets the defection in the program.
"Of course, she thinks it's a difficult political situation and she feels that this is right for her," the L-leader said. "It is clear that there may be an underlying criticism that we have formed another government that has put the left-wing populists in opposition," he added.
