Municipal commissioner Peter Johansson (M) resigns
Peter Johansson (M) has held top political positions for twelve years. In a press release from the Moderates it says that he forewarned that he wanted to leave before this autumn's election.
– He said as far back as a year ago that he wanted to resign at some point during the mandate period, says Camilla Palm (M), chairman of the Moderates in the municipality. She is expected to take over as chairman in May/June.

But according to information given to KB/Nsk the decision is a result of Peter Johansson's controversial plans for his weekend cottage in Åhus.
It is reported that Moderaterna in Kristianstad demanded an explanation from Peter Johansson to clear up ambiguities, something which he refused to give.
Peter Johansson emphasises that his resignation has nothing at all to do with building work.
– I've called in the council group and informed them. I did that several weeks ago, he says.
– None of the Moderates has called for my resignation. This is my decision alone.
According to Camilla Palm he has also given up his place on the party list for the election in September.
