The former Prime Minister Stefan Löfven announces in a post on Facebook that he will leave the social media platform.
"I can no longer be involved in or support media platforms that contribute to undermining democracy", Löfven writes in the post.
He does, however, mean that "good forces" remain on the platform and takes the opportunity to thank his friends.
"Aware that many good forces are present here, I would like to say: thank you all friends, we'll meet in other contexts", writes the former Prime Minister.
Stefan Löfven concludes the post with an appeal.
"As long as you're here – do your best to stand up for what's good!"
