“It has been eventful years, both challenging and tough, but also filled with laughter and joy.
The last few years have also shown just how important politics is for changing society in times of crisis and pandemic.
Politics should benefit ordinary people.
It has always been my driving force ", writes Karlsson.
Karlsson is 56 years old and has previously worked as an ombudsman for the Trade Employees' Union.
She entered the Riksdag in 2010 and succeeded Anders Ygeman as group leader in January 2019.
About the future, she writes that she will "give the iron" for the party framework for the 2022 election and then continue to pursue union-political issues in some other role.
