the letter of resignation on Monday
After AIDA HADZIALIC talked with Prime Minister Stefan Löfven she came to the conclusion that she should resign. On Monday, he leaves his resignation.
– I want to take responsibility for what I have done, she said.
AIDA HADZIALIC calls the decision to drive home from Copenhagen’s “biggest mistake”.
– It is impossible to say what Hadzialics departure means for the party and public opinion. AIDA HADZIALIC was a rare talent. But it was a serious offense and I think she has drawn the right conclusion when she stands for the consequences of this, said Stefan Löfven to TT.
He notes that the law looks like it does and that drunk driving is a serious offense. Löfven believe that she has made the right decision.

Colourful politicians
Federal chairman of the Social Democrats of faith and solidarity, also the political scientist, Ulf Bjereld believes that it is difficult to combine drinking and driving with the role of school Minister. But like several profiled Social Democrats he thinks it is a pity that AIDA HADZIALIC depart.
– It is very sad that she resigns. Hadzialic has been an asset for Löfven and made a reputation as a colorful politician who won the sympathies of the block boundaries, he said.
He does not believe that the Minister’s resignation will have no impact on opinion. Who will take over the ministerial post he thinks is difficult to answer.
– There is no law of nature that there should be three ministerial posts at the Ministry of Education, he said.
the former party secretary Lars Stjernkvist, now a social Democrat councilor in Norrköping, do not believe that the defection will have major consequences for Stefan Löfvens government.
– It will not have any impact politically. Both experience and reason say it, because people can separate personal tragedies and political events, says Lars Stjernkvist.
Important stand tall
During the press conference stressed AIDA HADZIALIC that it was important to tell what she had done as soon as possible.
– I want to stand tall before what I have done, she said.
the police have set up a notification and Hadzialic has been offered a punishment that she intends to accept. Scale of penalties for drunk driving are from fines to imprisonment. In most cases, the license is revoked, but at concentrations of 0.2-0.3 per mille, which in Hadzialics case, is the possibility of warning instead of withdrawal.
The Minister higher education, Helene Hellmark Knutsson (S), will temporarily take over the responsibility for secondary and education initiative to the Minister issues.
