Outgoing Minister for Labor Market and Integration Mats Persson (L) returns to the parliament, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot.
I have been in national politics for ten years and feel that it is time to do something else in life, said Persson on Wednesday in connection with the departure.
But his replacement in the parliament, Camilla Mårtensen, now tells Ekot that Mats Persson is coming back and that she will leave the parliamentary seat she has had while he was a minister. However, how long he will stay is unclear.
Mats was clear, when he talked to me, that he did not know how long he wanted to be in the parliament, says Mårtensen.
