"You shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch, but there is still a lot of evidence right now that I will take on the role of the new chairman of the culture committee," he writes on X.
In the last term, MP Mats Berglund chaired the committee.
It came a bit suddenly. I haven't worked on cultural issues in a decade. But when I entered the Riksdag (the Swedish parliament) in 2010, I was on the culture committee, so it's a bit of a return to my roots, and it's going to be fun, Mattias Karlsson tells Magasin K.
Mattias Karlsson will also become the new cultural policy spokesperson for the Sweden Democrats, replacing Alexander Christiansson.
