The Green Party
- A decision I respect, but which I think is very sad as Anders is a person that I both on the professional and personal level like a lot, our cooperation has been honest and straightforward when we have handled the political differences we have, says Anna Thunell (MP), group leader Västerås.
The Moderates
- I had a feeling that it was going on, as it has been turbulent for a while, but if I am to address a positive aspect of his time in power, I think he has succeeded with large establishments in the municipality, such as Northvolt, says Elisabeth Unell (M) group leader Västerås.
Center Party
- We have had a good collaboration in different constellations, and I think (S) will find a successor that we can collaborate with in the future in a good way, says Vicki Skure-Eriksson (C), group leader Västerås.
The Left Party
- I was very surprised, we have known each other for a long time and cooperated both in majority and opposition together, and now we are in opposition to him and (S).
Anders has a clear anti-racist profile which I appreciated.
At the same time, I think it is a pity that (S) has taken the step to the right and is cooperating with bourgeois parties, says Anna Maria Romlid (V), group leader Västerås.
The Christian Democrats
- It was quite expected and it is not strange at all if you intend to quit, it is a good time in the middle of a term to go, then it has been very stormy in politics the last six months, says Amanda Agestav (Kd), group leader Västerås.
The Liberals
- It's sad that he quits, I have to say.
That he is stepping down already now surprised me.
We have had a very good collaboration that has intensified in recent years.
I have had and have great confidence in him and experience him as an honest person, says Jesper Brandberg (L), municipal councilor Västerås.
