Urban Ahlin, 49, is expected to become the new President, nominated by the Social Democrats’ parliamentary group.
– Becoming number two in Sweden, in that order, is a very, very nice mission. It is obvious that Urban is proud to be nominated, says Stefan Löfven.
The Sweden Democrats have nominated party secretary Björn Söder to the Second Vice President.
In a preliminary talk has been about Susanne Eberstein, 66, or von Sydow, 68, as the S-candidates for presidents. But in the morning it was clear that the S-parliamentary group instead nominated Urban Ahlin. The election takes place at the parliamentary chamber at eleven o’clock.
Just before the Opening Ceremony, SD informed that you consider nominating party secretary Björn Söder, 38, Second Vice-President post. This made all the names public before the election of the President records.
Spokesperson of Foreign Affairs
Urban Ahlin has been an MP since 1994, he is from Mariestad and has devoted much of his political duties to foreign policy issues and has a very wide network of contacts throughout the world. He is currently Vice Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the party’s spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, and he has often been mentioned in speculation as Foreign Minister with both Margot Wallström, Jämtin and Dahlgren. To Ahlin now expected to be President opens the field for Stefan Löfven to appoint any of his competitors for the job.
“The experience and knowledge”
S to nominate a man for the office of President says Stefan Löfven, S leader and incoming Prime Minister:
– We just had a woman as President last mandate. Now this is the choice for the experiences Urban has and the knowledge he possesses.
On the question of Eberstein and von Sydow, mentioned extensively in the pre-talk, is disappointed, saying Löfven.
– There are many important posts to be filled now forward. There will be good jobs for all.
“A huge storm”
Susanne Eberstein says there have been both “very fun and exciting” to be Deputy Speaker of Parliament, but that she not expecting any new nomination.
– I put up for re-election to the need for even older in parliament, not in order to become President. As a member of Parliament I would never expect something special mission, Urban Ahlin will make this great.
Do you think your statement from 1999, when you were critical of homosexuals should be allowed to adopt children, have something to do with you did not get nominated?
– There was a huge storm when it was discovered. It was reckless and ogenomänkt. But I said it in 1999, and has apologized, I still do. But Stefan Löfven says it has not affected the nomination, it’s just too long ago, says Eberstein.
She now wants to think about older issues and says she’ll see where she “fits in parliament puzzle.”
– It’s a jigsaw puzzle all together, with many people taking advantage of.
chaotic vote
von Sydow, a former President, said:
– The decision was unanimous in the parliamentary group. I have no comment beyond that.
The procedures below current President choices can be both long and chaotic as the Left asked for the ballot for the second Vice President post, where SD is expected to nominate a person.
Then all members to go forward with an opposite patch instead of acclamation vote, then they shout out their vote.
Will probably be on a first ballot to be 49 in favor of SD’s candidate, and the rest goes blank votes.
Then there will be a second vote and the results expected.
For the third round, says Parliament Act that may deviate from the practice of majority in the chamber, and say that the person who gets the most votes appointed.
The procedure will take at least three hours, according to Susanne Eberstein.
– A grandstanding for formalians sake, she says.
Minister at his side
Sources have told Aftonbladet that Stefan Löfven will poke obvious ministers in favor of heavy mandate in parliament. This is because Parliament will play a greater role in the mandate period as the incoming government only has the support of 38 percent of voters. The President has a tough task in a cabinet and manages it in the chamber. Many times represented Sweden also by the President when traveling abroad.
At his side expected, Urban Ahlin get the outgoing immigration minister Tobias Billström, 40, Moderates, and Esabelle Dingizian, 52, the Green Party and Björn Söder, 38, the Sweden Democrats.
