New political governance takes shape in Ånge municipality

It is an unusually motley collection of parties that are now trying to agree on a working collaboration to lead Ånge for the next four years.

Our future in the lead with its 28.5 percent of the votes, together with the Center Party, the Christian Democrats, the Moderate Party, the Left Party and the North Country Party.

An interesting detail in the context is that the representative of the Norrlandspartiet, Leif Edh, was once involved in starting Vår Framtid.

First woman in the post - ever

In that case, you will be the first woman to lead the municipality, and the first who is not a social democrat - what does that say about Ånge?

- That it is a patriarchy, perhaps? No, I don't really know, there are more municipalities than Ånge that have had the same government at all times, says Linda Mattsson.

Forgotten business life

What will be the most important issues in the coming years?

- We think that a balanced economy is very important, after all we have a large investment need and a maintenance debt.

- Then our existing business life has felt rather forgotten - for a while it was mostly busy with industries and green conversion in the municipality, she says.

Soon you can be the highest political leader in Ånge municipality - how does it feel?

- Great, we have made such a good choice and have changed so much.
