"Cecilia Wikström: the Liberals suffered a moral panic"

"Poked top name Cecilia Wikström (L) regret nothing."

"She is combative and mean that her party has acted ”spineless” on her assignments."

"– Man suffered collective snöblindhet and moral panic, " she says."

"Cecilia Wikström petades that the Liberals' top in the EU elections on Saturday. "

"It came after that the SVT has revealed that she will get 70 000 dollars a month for their directorships of Beijer-Alma and Elekta, the money that is added on top of parlamentarikerlönen of 80 000 sek per month."

"In the day, when it's been a few days and Cecilia Wikström had time to digest a little of what has happened, she is combative."

"I regret nothing," she says."

"She does not think that she has done something wrong because she has been open about its mission since she took the place of the boards for less than a year ago. She points out that 60 per cent of the parliamentarians have similar missions."

"instead, it is L, which has an exposed position in the polls, panicked when it began to blow, she believes."

"– Man suffered collective snöblindhet and moral panic."

"the Blame she places mainly on the party secretary Maria Arnholm and the nomination committee, which, she argues, have not done their job properly. Wikström says that her fees all the time been reported at the site where the mps declare their mission."

"That she would take a seat in the boardroom she told me directly it was clear, in February last year."

"the party Leader Jan Björklund (L) was one of those who congratulated."

"– Oh what fun, congratulations, " he said. We have, in all cases up to now been a näringslivspositivt party. We have often emphasised that the companies have good benefit to society that build our wellbeing, " says Wikström."

"Informed you that you would get paid?"

" No, but you can't be so simple-minded that they don't know that you get a fee if you are sitting in a Swedish listed companies board of directors. So uneducated, no one can be."

"the Liberals demanded that Cecilia Wikström would leave the boards, if she would be left as the top names."

"she refused," she explains with a sense of responsibility towards them, she promised to carry out a mission. "

" I have taken the responsibility to represent the interests of L in the parliament and also to have two board positions. I have wholeheartedly joined in for all of this. You may think that it is a lot, but I don't play golf and I am not running the marathon. You can say that I am a arbetsnörd, I think it is exciting and fun to work."

"”was squeezed into a corner”"

"Cecilia Wikström believes that she is subjected to strong pressure from his party until Saturday, when the decision was made."

" I was squeezed further and further into a corner day by day. "

"The harder the pressure became all the greater was Wikström's conviction that she could not accept the claims put forward."

"– I felt that I cannot be a part of the moral morass that is now affecting the us. It says so much about humanity, trust and the lack of analysis that they have not stood up for me. It is a spineless leadership, " she says."

"the Critics in L has stated that Wikström's board was likely to overshadow the party's message in the upcoming EU election campaign. "

"she is convinced that she had managed to meet any criticism from the voters. "

" I had met there and I had passed it. I am also convinced that I had managed to bring the Liberals to success in the elections. "

"what the future looks like, what she does not know. "

" I shall fulfill my mission in the EUROPEAN parliament with dignity and high quality at the end of the term last June. Then I'll take a long vacation and learn to paddle a canoe. I shall then consider what I should do next."

"During the call, turn Wikström fixed that she went with the L as the 18-year-old and that she hopes to die as a liberal."

"Something downs, add transition ends is not current."

"But how she will do with its place in the regional parliament, she has not yet decided."

"After petningen have Wikström both cried and felt the disappointment. She describes it she is inside a ”shock phase”."

"– But the moments of peace and relief will be longer for each day. "

"the Liberal leadership has acknowledged that it made mistakes around Wikström's mission."

"– It should have been made a research already last year, " said Björklund in the weekend. "
