Wallin: “Will not get a crown”
Now suspended left-wing politician Marcus Wallin demands that the municipal board act to stop the payment of parachute contracts for the two politicians.
– It moves up to three million for two politicians who seriously damaged the municipality’s reputation and went behind the backs of the Alingsås, it is completely unreasonable. It is everyone’s responsibility in politics to do what we can to stop this, says Marcus Wallin.
Wallin says that they were reached by the news about the parachute agreements via Alingsås newspaper.
– As soon as the news reached our phones, our board and group leaders called a quick digital meeting. Because this is something we have already discussed, that we have to raise the issue that these two municipal councilors should not receive a penny in parachute contracts.
– We have to protect taxpayers’ funds, and these two municipal councilors are also highly responsible for the budget cuts that hit our welfare very hard. We had already planned to stop this.
