The shift of power has cost 147 million – Sydsvenskan

– In the beginning there is a period when it comes to what to do. It should be something that fits, it’s not so strange. And there are jobs can not be taken immediately after the election as it sits on sensitive data. Since I do not live in Stockholm, making it more difficult, he said.

Nearly a year after the election has 27 state secretary of the 34 still retains all or parts of their contribution.

Another state secretary who lost the job last fall’s Oscar Wåglund Söderström (FP). He got a new job in April with a monthly salary 74 000 SEK, which is deducted from severance pay. He may maintain the level of wages from the state secretary job and therefore a contribution of SEK 20 000 in severance pay, in just over a year.

Wåglund Soderstrom see is not income guarantee as a support for those looking for jobs, and have not thought about renouncing the grant.

– I have no views on the law that exists, he said.

Last fall

left also 101 MPs their seats, some voluntarily, others were voted out. 71 MPs of them still retain their guaranteed income, which has so far cost taxpayers 32 million crowns. One of them is Elisabeth Björnsdotter Rahm (M):

– I have not received any job that feels attractive. I feel certain that I abuse the system.

Most parachutes phased out after a year or two. But MPs may get longer. Therefore, costs severance payments actually more, if one includes the previous elections. Siw Wittgren-Ahl (S) has remained from the parachute in 2010.

– When I left in 2010, I was 60 years old. Then you are not so attractive in the labor market. I have looked for jobs that could suit me, she says.
