It was on March 16 that SVT Nyheter Blekinge was able to reveal that Lennarth Förberg had gone on a two-week holiday, due to the conflict within the Alliance and the internal power struggles within the Moderates in the Blekinge Region.
From the beginning, it was said that Moderattoppen would return to work on Monday.
But now Lennarth Förberg is on sick leave instead.
- I have worked too much for the past two years and am on sick leave for a few more days.
I expect to be back on April 12, writes Lennarth Förberg in a text message to SVT.
The First Deputy Chairman of the Regional Board, Lars Karlsson (C), is the one who in recent weeks has temporarily taken over the political leadership in the region.
