Åsele municipal councilor resigns after criticism over housing deal

Åsele municipal councilor Andreas From (S) is resigning after a housing deal that has attracted criticism, reports P4 Västerbotten.

The criticism concerns the municipal councilor buying a house in Åsele from a woman with dementia, without putting the house on the open market. The woman's son was also not given the opportunity to comment on the purchase.

According to From, he has received "enormous and escalating hatred" recently as a result of the high-profile affair, and is therefore choosing to leave his political duties.

However, the local councilor insists he did nothing wrong in buying the house.
