About two weeks to enter defense expert and former social democratic politician Jan Nygren his new post as chairman of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration. Even now he gets criticism from the Left Party Stig Henriksson because of his links to the arms industry. But Trollhätte bördige Nygren says that the Ministry of Defence never had appointed him if there was actually any conflict of interest.
– The Department of Defense has received a ordentilg accounting of my information, there is therefore no conflict of interest. Had such been the case had I not been named.
Jan Nygren has previously been chairman for the trade association Defense Industry Association and advisor to the arms manufacturer Saab AB. Now he is part owner of Concilio International including lobbying to make it easier for companies wishing to establish themselves in the Middle East and Asia.
About two weeks to enter Nygren as chairman of the board of the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration, which among other things provides the Swedish defense with weapons.
Left Party Stig Henriksson , which is a member of the Defence Committee told TT that “FMV’s mission is to be a resource for the Swedish defense, not to be perceived as a representative for sellers of weapons and weapons systems. “
But Nygren takes the criticism in stride. Just as the Defense Department does he estimates that he will carry out its mission without adversely affected by its previous commitment.
– Absolutely. Otherwise I would not have made it.
Do you think your new missions could be compromised by this criticism?
– No, I think not.
