Mehmet Kaplan (Green Party) ignored Stefan Löfvens orders to put all the cards on the table.
Therefore, he was fired.
The Prime Minister gave Minister of housing announcement already on Sunday, the Express now tell.
– this does not work, explained Stefan Löfven in the secret call.
Although Mehmet Kaplan recent days “interrogated” the conclusion of Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and his associates came the new data as a total surprise to the government headquarters.
at 13:53 on Sunday revealed the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet that the housing minister likened Israel’s actions with Nazis in the 1930s in Germany.
But it was not the straw that broke the camel’s back. Stefan Löfven had already decided and informed Mehmet Kaplan of its decision, according to Expressen’s sources.
– The situation was unsustainable, says an informant.
Therefore, telephoned Prime Minister on Sunday afternoon up Mehmet Kaplan and explained:
– this is not working.

appeared together
the answer from Kaplan surprised Löfven:
– I agree. It does not.
Thus remained only formality – and a farewell press conference.
The Prime Minister and the outgoing housing minister decided that they would meet at eight o’clock on Monday morning, and so it was.
After the formal letter of resignation submitted, they discussed then a communication plan, and they agreed to appear together at the press conference in Government headquarters Rosenbads press conference Bella Venezia at 12.30.
It was also decided that the Green Party spokesperson Gustav Fridolin and Åsa Romson would not participate in the press conference, but a few hours later, rather than give individual interviews in a room in the parliament building.
the main reason for the Prime Minister decided to kick the housing minister was Kaplan’s “poor judgment” according Expressen’s sources.
Stefan Löfven was furious when he was on Thursday last week realized that Mehmet Kaplan does not even tried to take the help of their employees to check the guest list before criticizing dinner where fascist group Grey Wolves leaders attended.
– If you do not take the help of his team, or even attempt to check this, then you have screwed up sharply, says an informant.
the grave was not to Kaplan participated in dinner, but he did not know who was there, according to a source.
at 11:21 on Monday – just over an hour before the press conference in Government headquarters – published Swedish television a new revelation about the housing minister.

worked for the regime
New pictures show that Kaplan for several years had very close contact with a person who working for the Turkish regime. According to SVT, they have met at least 17 times in the last three years and together they have represented Sweden in international travel.
– It was very troubling information, especially given the conversations that the Prime Minister had with Kaplan during the week says a government source.
Mehmet Kaplan has repeatedly in recent days asked to tell us about all the meetings, trips and talks to various reasons is questionable. But Kaplan did not tell me about this contact.
– It’s amazing that he put himself in this seat, says an informant.
Exactly at 12.30 on Monday went Stefan Löfven with certain got up on stage in front of the large media call-in Bella Venezia and told Mehmet Kaplan left the government. Prime Minister stresses when it is Kaplan’s own actions that led to the decision:
– Mehmet Kaplan makes an overall assessment that his actions in relation to external religious and political organizations has led to a discussion that stands in the way of his duties as a minister, and I share that assessment, the Prime minister said.
“I feel the Mehmet”
But it does not sound as spokespersons Gustav Fridolin and Åsa Romson later meets journalists.
– he has difficulty fulfilling its task in the government because there is a questioning of him and his people, and when he chooses to step aside, says Gustav Fridolin, who also asserts that the image that is now given Mehmet Kaplan are “unfair”:
– of course I do. For I know the Mehmet. We know he is a democrat, anti-racist and humanist.
During the press conference, said Mehmet Kaplan that he had the confidence of all the ministers in the government.
But the question of whether language pipes thus tried to persuade him to remain, the response from Åsa Romson:
– We have given support to Mehmet, of course, as party colleagues and as the voice of the party that proposes the green ministers to the Prime Minister, for a long time. And we continue to provide the support to the person Mehmet Kaplan we know as a deep democrat and anti-racist
Romson continues:
– At the same time, we must respect and share the analysis that Mehmet Kaplan makes . In this mode, the picture is even the questions asked – even when Mehmet choose to respond to them, one by one … and he can not get out and do the important job that we have from the Green Party and the entire government needs in terms of housing.
Language pipes do not want to summarize Mehmet Kaplan ministertid.
– this is not the day to review the whole of the labor act that Mehmet has done as minister, says Åsa Romson.
