Now Regional Councilor Marcus Eskdahl wants to give the next generation the opportunity to enter politics.

After some time of thinking, he has decided to resign, reports JP.

- I feel that it is the right decision and that it is a suitable time to take this step.

I turned 50 a while ago and feel that if I am going to do something else in the future, I will do it now and not in five or ten years, he tells the newspaper.

SVT Nyheter has contacted him for a comment.
