M ona Sahlins new cases are not nearly as large. 20 years ago, Sahlin was selected to govern Sweden, but fell at the crucial stride. And the same thing happened then as the MP-crisis today: when politicians go to see lots journalists as enemies.

Mona Sahlin’s defection as the national coordinator against violent extremism primarily affects her. And the government must accelerate a bit to find a replacement.
But Sahlins cases during Toblerone affair changed Sweden.
this is what would have happened if the Mona Sahlin had become party leader and prime minister in the 90s: She would have done the same with the Social Democrats, Fredrik Reinfeldt then did with the Conservatives.
that she would have slaughtered sacred cows, and changed the party’s rhetoric and political orientation. She would have taken aim at the middle just like Reinfeldt – but from the other side.
But there was never any “New Social Democrats.” Mona Sahlin fell out of government – and out of the social-democratic succession – on his own tangled finances.
In came Goran Persson and when Mona Sahlin well got the job as the S leader ten years later, she had no mandate for radical political renewal, and never became prime minister.
You can not today explain Sahlin agreement, which no reminding that the Social Democrats which was quite different from what the party is today .
We were vacuuming the entire democratic world, but there was at this time no examples of parties that had been more successful than the Swedish Social Democrats in the conquest of government power.
No – not many, anyway – know what to put the ball in the Toblerone affair in motion. But the left wing did not lack motives to try to trap Sahlin.
When Mona Sahlin would take over from Ingvar Carlsson, she was thus the next ruler of the almost always S-guided Sweden. The attention was rightly enormous.
No – not many, anyway – know what to put the ball in the Toblerone affair in motion. But the left wing did not lack motives to try to trap Sahlin.
On a sunny day in October 1995, Mona Sahlin in the bar at LO’s training center Hasseludden. She talked to some journalists.
She was now the sole candidate to succeed Ingvar Carlsson, and challenged his party ideologically when she defended the cuts in health insurance and unemployment insurance.
” now the community does not do everything that we previously pretended that it could, “she said and pointed out that one should not be trying to get voters to believe it.
” I think you’re lying about it fails to convince people that it can be the same. It will never be like it was before. It is even good in many ways. “
The last was a pure provocation against the Left Party. The cuts that S-Government was perhaps – perhaps – necessary, but nothing to be proud of. Mona Sahlin was right, and she was supported by the right wing of the party, while those who were left were political eczema.
After 20 years lifted unsealing the records of the Social Democratic executive committee (VU). SvD read what Sweden’s most powerful politicians said to each other during the crisis in autumn 1995, and some things are striking.
• No question how Mona Sahlin has handled the government’s credit cards, or their own personal finances.
• It is directed sharp criticism of party colleagues who publicly criticized or questioned Sahlin.
• The media seen as enemies.
Mehmet Kaplan’s press secretary scolded journalists. Gustav Fridolin chief of staff tried to steer SVT reporting.
Anyone looking for parallels between Sahlin deal and the ongoing crisis in the Green Party will find the clearest in the third point.
Mehmet Kaplan’s press secretary scolded journalists. Gustav Fridolin chief of staff tried to steer SVT reporting.
No one knows if they meant it, but then forced the MP spokespersons write this in a letter to the grass roots and the outside world:
“We will not always fully recognize us in the picture painted of us, but in a free democratic society the media to operate freely. “
