M ehmet Kaplan’s departure could not be more inappropriate – in the middle of the housing policy discussions where the government is trying to get the support of the Alliance for a new housing policy. On the other hand, there is now a chance that the right person takes over.

It was only a year and a half as housing Minister Mehmet Kaplan. Too bad, because he actually showed genuine enthusiasm. He was the soul delighted his new assignment when he was with 23 other ministers stepped out from the king’s cabinet meeting at the palace October 3, 2014.
There on Lejonbacken met the press. As posted on the site, I asked what he Mehmet Kaplan as the new Housing Minister really thought about “progressive depreciation” as a few months before had been banned in Sweden. Accounting trick had systematically begun to be used in the construction industry to beautify the calculations of the amounts of new condominium associations that would bring the middle class to invest himself and Sweden out of the housing crisis.
“Not a clue,” said Kaplan, who seemed to see on depreciation on a uFO.
He was of course more warm clothes . A new support for the new construction of small rental properties, provided that the rent was low, was one of his recipes to the housing crisis, albeit totally inadequate.

A particular strength of Mehmet Kaplan – surveying student who became a politician who became minister of housing – was understood that he so obviously personalized support and accommodation in “the New Sweden”. But the proof that it is not alone enough was already two months ago when the Minister Mrs Ylva Johansson suddenly appointed Mehmet Kaplan’s overcoat in housing issues of integration and refugees.
Mehmet Kaplan’s wanderlust had irritated some right from the start, when he bums traveled to Turkey. He several days was in Barcelona at the IT trade show as Stefan Löfven announced that Ylva Johansson took over at home, it was perhaps no accident.
Right at home was we journalists queue to ask about the worsening housing crisis where many of the 180 000 asylum seekers also soon need housing while Boverket counted growing housing shortage – now at least 700,000 homes by 2025, of which half a million by 2020.
Earlier this winter digs have also come from Magdalena Andersson. When Mehmet Kaplan in a Saturday interview with the Echo in February suggested that interest rate reductions should be phased out in favor of the gradual reduction of the capital gains tax was dismissed by the opening lead of the Minister of Finance. The disagreement between the two ministers were then called “startling and ominous” of the alliance since the quarrel between Kaplan and Andersson touched fundamental issues facing the housing policy compromise that the government wants to achieve with the alliance now before the summer.
But Mehmet Kaplan received then fired for other reasons. Now piling up the question marks on the bloc talks. And how will it go the way of the lightning investigation Mehmet Kaplan could order in March? Clearly, the housing minister called for consensus between the tenant association and property owners no later than 10 May including how rents and rent negotiations can contribute to increased construction.
The investigator Claes Stråth was obviously surprised by the free rein as housing minister gave him to investigate what so divergent parties can agree on. “Usually tend directives from the ministries commission to carefully to weigh things against each other by formulations such as” on the one hand, on the other hand this’, but here it was a little different, “said Stråth about getting assignments from Kaplan.
It is perhaps a pity on the enthusiasm – but lucky if anyone now seriously grasp the housing crisis.
