Jens Holm, Member of Swedish Parliament:

"The elections are over and almost all the votes are counted. It is now clear: I have been elected Member of the Swedish Parliament. I feel very honoured. I am grateful to everyone that has voted for me and the Left Party. Thank you!

I will especially work with issues dealing with climate change, animal rights and global justice.

I feel passionate about working hard for replacing the current neo-liberal government with a red-green. That struggle starts here and now: A new government and new politics, that's what Sweden needs."
