- There is an obvious candidate and it is Lawen Redar who is the cultural policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats, says Karin Petterson, cultural director at Aftonbladet.
The news agency TT has interviewed Anders Q Björkman, deputy head of culture at SvD, and Roger Blomgren, political scientist and professor who heads the Center for Cultural Policy Research at the University of Borås.
They also think that Lawen Redar is well placed.
What should the next Minister of Culture prioritize?
According to Ola Wong, editor of Kvartal, the next Minister of Culture - in addition to being educated in his area - should prioritize the issue of cultural freedom.
He believes that Swedish culture right now is too ideologically driven.
Karin Petterson, head of culture at Aftonbladet, also wants to see a minister with a deep cultural interest, but in contrast to Ola Wong, she hopes for an ideologically driven minister of culture.
