S-battle waiting for President – Swedish Dagbladet

S-battle waiting for President – Swedish Dagbladet

Meanwhile, a battle looms in S up about the election of a new President.

The new Social Democratic parliamentary group decided at its first meeting on Tuesday about Mikael Damberg (S) to the group leader. A nominating committee was also added, which will include proposing party’s nomination for a new President, who is elected on Monday.

Here the party must agree on one of the two candidates, former Speaker Björn von Sydow, 69, and current Vice President Susanne Eberstein, 66th

Both have been an MP for 20 years and is respected in the party. Von Sydow is a political scientist and former President. During the two periods, he has represented the party in the Constitutional Committee.

Susanne Eberstein is kammarrättsråd and has also been chairman of the tax committee and vice chairman of the EU Affairs and Justice Committee. The last term of office, she has been the Vice President.

One of them has been in trouble before. 1999, Eberstein criticism that she turned against gay adoptions and compared it with the risk of releasing solvent into the water. Something that SSU’s Journal Freedom crowned the year’s stupidest statement.

None of them wanted to say Tuesday about the candidates.

– I have no comment, said von Sydow.

Neither Susanne Eberstein to say something.

– I say so, to Stefan Löfven, she said.

Election Committee headed right of party chairman, who has a great person puzzle in front of him, both for ministerial posts and chairmanships in parliament. If negotiations with the MP, he did not say anything.

– The ongoing and it goes well, we intend to inform as soon as we have something to communicate, said Stefan Löfven entering the parliamentary group meeting.

On Friday at 12, he informs the President on efforts to put together a government.
