The cost of politicians lying in Sweden
One of the strongest, most successful and most popular politicians in the history of Sweden is a lady named Mona Salin; Born in 1957, he was elected as the youngest member of the Swedish Parliament at the age of 25, and went through the stages of growth and promotion and even went to the head of the Social Democratic Party.
He had positions and positions in governments
A few years ago, he had the best chance to hold Sweden’s highest government post, Prime Minister.
but
But suddenly the page turned!
In 2016, it was announced that he issued a false certificate to his bodyguard (a policeman)!
Mona Saline’s proud political life has come to an end.
Yes, that easy!
Believe that his political life is really over and over forever.
What was the topic?
His personal bodyguard wanted to take a loan from the bank to buy a 70-meter apartment, and the bank wanted to know how much this loan applicant’s annual income is?
In a letter, Mona Salin falsely certifies that the policeman’s monthly salary is more than his actual salary.
The bank pays the loan.
The party is buying the apartment and so far none of the installments have been paid late.
But the problem still remains.
Which problem?
One of the most senior officials of the country lied!
It took the court to determine the verdict of Mona Salin’s lie.
Of course, Mona Salin accepted and confessed her mistake before the court, and that’s why she didn’t appear in the court because she had no defense.
His fine was set at 45,000 kroner (about 4,000 dollars).
The salary of a simple worker is 25 thousand kroner per month.
I wish I could write the full text of his speech, including:
I was wrong, I didn’t appreciate people’s laughter, I didn’t realize what a great wealth people’s trust is, I got corrupted.
Although the corruption I committed did not cause any harm to the country, I committed corruption and this does not make a difference in the outcome of the work.
People should not trust anyone and entrust him with the responsibility of doing something, while he may lie and…!
Mona Salin did not hold any post after revealing her mistake and most of the people are upset that they will no longer benefit from her political genius!!!
But his party is still the strongest party in Sweden; Because the supporters of his party know that there is no difference between the party leader and an ordinary citizen!
Before being a politician, Mona Saline is just a human being!
