The government announces that Fredrik Olovsson, who has been chairman of the Social Democrats' Sörmland district since last spring, will take up his new position immediately.
He thus takes leave of absence from the Riksdag assignment where he sits as chairman of the Finance Committee.
- It will be very exciting and fun to work with these important issues, he says according to a press release.
Oxelösund politicians replace
In the Riksdag, the replacement is already ready.
It will be the 68-year-old Oxelösund politician Inge Ståhlgren who takes Olovsson's place.
- My political interest has varied over the years, I am passionate about community building issues and am very interested in defense policy. The care and nursing issues are also important, says Inge Ståhlgren.
