In his work as a regional councilor, Rostedt intends to pay special attention to the economic situation in the welfare area.

“It’s important to stay within the given framework, and there’s probably a tough state of fear for everyone about whether it’s there at all and what all this is going to cost,” Rostedt says.

Seiska magazine reported on Rostedt’s own financial situation in late 2021. According to the enforcement register certificate submitted to HS, Rostedt has a debt of approximately EUR 3.8 million.

“They don’t belong here, they’re treated differently.”

In what ways?

“Probably by selling the apartment buildings and paying off the debt,” Rostedt says, adding that he has already been able to pay off a significant portion of his debts.

Southwest Finland As many as ten of the 79 new delegates in the welfare area play a triple role, ie as a municipal councilor and Member of Parliament.

Rostedt states that he already knows most of the regional councilors in the triple role. He says he is interested in whether, for example, ministers will have time to attend regional council meetings.

“The movement now starts from not having to sit on too many balls,” he says.

However, he does not feel that his own duties – one ball in the city council and one in the regional council – are still too much.

“Then there will be too many balls when we sit in Parliament and as a minister in addition to the two.”
