Gulan Avci – who sits in the Liberals’ party leadership – left his post as labor market policy spokesman in protest of how party leader Nyamko Sabuni handled the infected las issue.
This is stated by Ekot’s sources.
It was in a press release at the end of October that the Liberals announced that Gulan Avci was leaving his post as labor market policy spokesman.
But we did not know why she resigned, in the middle of the political battle over labor law.
Now sources for Ekot state that the reason was that there was a rift between Gulan Avci and party leader Nyamko Sabuni in the sensitive las issue.
October 16 broke after all, after the LO board voted against the proposal.
– On the whole, we can say, unfortunately, it did not last all the way, said LO’s chairman Susanna Gideonsson.
In a post on Facebook On the same day, Nyamko Sabuni stated that it is “crystal clear” that the investigation into a modernized labor law – the so-called Toijer Inquiry – will now be carried out and become law.
But that line received internal criticism, all the way up in the Liberals’ leadership, according to information to Ekot. Among other things, it was about the party – by locking itself so tightly in the investigation – risking appearing as “fundamentalists” – and opponents of the civil servants’ unions in PTK, which the Liberals have traditionally been close to, and which gave the go-ahead for the settlement.
That is not reasonable either to let this issue lead to political chaos, it was called. One of the critics was Gulan Avci, who thus chose to step down from his position, state Ekot’s sources. She sits in the party leadership, and was one of those who advocated Nyamko Sabuni in the party leadership battle.
A couple of days later, Nyamko Sabuni made it clear that the Liberals are prepared to put the Toijer inquiry aside, and instead proceed with the agreement between the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise and PTK.
“I am convinced that the parties’ proposal will be in line with what the Liberals think is good,” she told Dagens industri.
Gulan Avci, who is currently a member of the tax committee, does not want to be interviewed on this issue.
