Björn Rosengren

Björn Folke Rosengren, born April 14, 1942 in Täby, county of Stockholm; Swedish, active in the labour union and a Social Democratic politician; chairman of the Swedish community salaried employees' association (SKTF) 1976-1982 and the white-collar's central organisation TCO 19821994 (a position he was forced to leave after a visit to a strip club, called Tabu), county governor in the county of Norrbotten 1995-1998, minister of business 1998-2002, member of the parliament 2002.

Currently resides at Arnöbergs country manor on Arnö in lake Mälaren, with a magnificent corps-de-logis from the 18:th century, that was bought for roughly 12 million Swedish Kronor (SEK). Controversial with his role as a well-paid advisor to the Swedish Stenbeck-family and very close ties with prime minister Göran Persson.

Unwillingly, he stopped the Telenor-Telia fusion when he called Norway the last Soviet-state in 1999.
