The municipal board's decision that the pension agreement shall apply was not unanimous.
But Opposition Councilor Eva Borg (S) is one of the majority who voted for.
- We have had a proper discussion in our party group and have come to the conclusion that it is difficult to crawl out of the agreement, says Eva borg (S).
She believes that the municipality would probably lose a court case.
- We saw the prospects of winning as very small.
Then we would have used even more tax money for legal costs and other things, she says.
Do you think that Hans Forsberg would have chosen to take it to court if you had denied him the money?
-
Since he requested to receive his fixed-term pension, I am convinced that he would pursue this, says Eva Borg (S).
Hans Forsberg is entitled to a fixed-term pension of just over SEK 58,000 a month for the next nine years - until the day he turns 65.
"Tough and stressful"
Since the incident with the sex purchase occurred at the end of May, there have been many upset feelings in the town hall.
Although Eva Borg has a long political career, she believes that she has never seen anything like it.
- It has been tough and stressful.
We think a little differently in the municipal board, but it has been a good tone of conversation.
Now there is a decision and it applies, she says.
Maria Lossman (MP), Kalle Påsse Sundvall (M) and Niklas Mattson (KD) voted no.
The Sweden Democrats abstained from voting.
