Kristersson on KAJ: "Not my musical taste"

KAJ is not his favorite, but Ulf Kristersson (M) accepts the result in Melodifestivalen. Maybe not right on target in my musical taste, but I have always respect for the fact that it is the audience that decides, says the Prime Minister to Sveriges Radio Finnish.

Sweden's Prime Minister notes that the Finnish humor group KAJ's victory in Melodifestivalen has caused joy among his colleagues in Helsinki.

My Finnish friends in the Finnish government and the Finnish President were very enthusiastic about this, says Kristersson and adds:

I myself have children studying in Helsinki and there the enthusiasm was enormous.

Ulf Kristersson, 61, has a great music interest and has previously revealed that he is a big fan of artists such as Abba, Tomas Andersson Wij and Kent. The Prime Minister was also present when Taylor Swift played in Sweden last year.
