To the Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt
We cannot have a Foreign Minister who has been involved in oil companies, which are suspected of people displacement and even worse crimes in South Sudan and Ethiopia. (12 000 people where killed and 160 000 people had to leave their homes in the area where Lundin Oil/ Lundin Petrolium prospected for oil. Carl Bildt was a member of Board of the company.)

Foreign Minister Carl Bildt also has acted as a war lobbyist according Iraq which have since been favouring his own shares in armament industries.

A political mandate and particularly as a representative of all of my country in the surrounding world must be held by people with high morals and ethics.Not by persons involved in such cynical business transaktions.

I want the avaaz Members to support me to persuade our Prime Minister to find a different and more appropriate person to the post as Foreign Minister.

I am worried of the changes my country is developing when ethics and moral not longer seems to play any role and Foreign Minister Carl Bildt is not the right person to talk about human rights in the world.

I am just an ordinary woman whitout political commitments but I care for the human rights of the people in Africa not to be threated that bad just for a swedish oil company to earn a lot of money and not for my country to have a Prime Minister like Carl Bildt. I feel very much ashamed.
