Career

Minister for Home Affairs (2014-2017)

When the Löfven Cabinet started after the 2014 Swedish general election, Ygeman was appointed minister for home affairs. In the former Reinfeldt Cabinet, such a position did not exist. After the Charlie Hebdo shooting (6 January 2015) and the November 2015 attacks (both in Paris), Homeland security themes have gained importance. It is also a part of Sweden's domestic policy to cope with the European migrant crisis affecting Sweden.

After the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015, Ygeman presented a cross-border and anti-terrorism agreement. Among other things, the package included the criminalization of terrorist voyages, the end of the abuse of Swedish passports, the measures against illegal weapons and increased penalties for hand grenades and explosives, the investigation of secret data readings, and the possibility of sharing digital information for FRA, MUST and SÄPO at the National Center for Terrorism Assessments.

On 26 July 2017, a majority in the Riksdag announced they would put forward a vote of confidence against him. On 27 July 2017, he resigned from the cabinet. Subsequently, he was appointed Leader of the Social Democrats in the Swedish Riksdag.
