Policies. the Ministry of Culture hopes that “within weeks” to provide information about the work Mona Sahlin has led to continue in the same form as before, or organized in any other way. While looking for the Ministry of Culture Sahlins replacement.
– We need to recruit a person who can continue the positive work done, says Kristoffer Talltorp, press Secretary to the Minister democracy Alice Bah Kuhnke.
the Ministry can not comment on any names in the current situation. Meanwhile, work continues towards violent extremism, according to police, Daniel Norlander, acting coordinator.
– Work against violent extremism continues. But Mona Sahlin, but it becomes more difficult to reach out to opinion leaders in the work. Mona Sahlin has been a very good spokesperson, a unifying force and opinion makers who have made that municipalities have been running the local work. But much of the actual work, which visits the municipalities, the Secretariat has undertaken, said Daniel Norlander said.
Do not speculate
Norlander is currently Secretary General of the Secretariat Sahlin has led, since 2014, she was appointed national coordinator. Sahlin and her committee assignments were previously limited to two years and would be completed in June this year, but the government wants to continue the work in any form and also demands from Parliament to do so, after a so-called announcement based on a motion from the four conservative parties, who two years ago to put Sahlin.
Government and opposition are thus agreed that the work should continue in some form since the national strategy has been presented.
– the Government sketching right now how, says Daniel Norlander, who do not want to speculate on who will then take over as coordinator. He neither confirms nor denies that it may be his own.
– The Ministry of Culture watching a replacement for Mona, he said.
Both praise and criticism
Sweden Democrats demanded in its motion to Sahlin would be set aside and that a new national coordinator shall be a person with no political connections, with expertise in such as radicalization and terrorism. While Rosas Sahlins effort from many quarters.
– Highly because she is a person able to seal the gap between the state, municipalities and civil society. She has been engaged and has been able to talk to people in both town halls and organizations, says Lars Nicander, director of the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies at the Swedish National Defence College said.
Terror researcher Magnus Norell would not comment on Sahlins effort – although this is critical to the coordinator role at all. It’s too fuzzy, he believes.
– In the instructions that you received when she was appointed by the previous government was not militant Islamism in general. If you can not even call things by their right names, it becomes difficult to manage it or work against it.
Expedited handling
After Sahlin’s sudden defection now remain a number of issues. A preliminary investigation of misrepresentation or alternatively grossly misrepresentation began the moment Mats Åhlund in April became aware of how Sahlin stated that an employee earned significantly more than what he’s done. The certificate was used when he wanted to buy a home in Saltsjöbaden, revealed Expressen on Wednesday.
The prosecutor Anders Jakobsson, who right now is on vacation, was appointed to lead investigations and got the case on its table. The case has been handled promptly, says Mats Åhlund said.
– Yes, I got the information that the media were informed and had knowledge of this relationship. There was reason to immediately consider what steps could be taken.
FACTS
Background: wrote incorrect certificate
Expressen revealed that Mona Sahlin ( S), the government’s national coordinator against violent extremism, on the agency letterhead wrongly certified that her co-workers and former bodyguard earn 120 000 per month. But according to the Cabinet Office he earns only 43 000 per month. The man used the false certificate in connection with that he bought a luxury residence ten million.
Sahlin says she wrote wrong about the man’s salary from the government, but also state that her own companies pay the man SEK 60 000 per month plus social charges for making safety assessments for her.
Expressen reports that Mona Sahlin is not paid taxes and employer contributions for the former bodyguard. Mona Sahlin, admits that she has not paid social security contributions, but says she will do this. According to the Tax Agency, the social security contributions are recognized on a monthly basis, something not done Sahlin. She has not registered as an employer.
Mona Sahlin resign with immediate effect as the national coordinator against violent extremism.
