Politikerbloggens avslöjande om skandalen i riksdagen blev inte bara en stor nyhet i svenska tidningar. I fredags publicerade The Times en stort uppslagen artikel om riksdagsledamoten som sextrakasserade sin partikamrat.
Tidningen konstaterade bland annat:
A shamefaced Swedish MP yesterday came up with a novel excuse for discarding his trousers and behaving badly at the Christmas party: a recent stomach bypass operation meant that the beer and schnapps had gone straight to his head.
Per Svedberg, 44, was seeking to explain why he was seen wandering the corridors of the Swedish Parliament stripped to his shirt and underpants in pursuit of a female Social Democrat colleague.
The object of his drunken desires took refuge in her office and called security guards after the festive representative repeatedly banged on her door and used unparliamentary language to demand a coalition. The guards escorted him back to his own office where he was reunited with his trousers.
Politikerbloggen citerades flera gånger i artikeln.
“I went through a gastric bypass a while back, which means that alcohol goes straight into the blood stream,” Mr Svedberg, an MP from the north of the country, told the Swedish website Politikerbloggen.
“I know full well that I should not drink alcohol but I thought I could have some beer. It suggests that I need help, of course,” he said. “I am not going to excuse what happened; I was simply too drunk.”
