But the account does not belong at all to His Dahlgren, can DN tell.
as late as last Monday was the same account, ”Amanda Lind,” and was to be the newly appointed minister of culture. Then stated the account of the DN that it was false. Because the account only changed the name and profile picture may DN still see the conversation, which now looks to be from Hans Dahlgren. DN can confirm that the account has the same so-called Twitter ID the fake Amanda Lind-account.

the Man who created the fake account is notorious for pretending to be various famous people. In October 2015 managed the same person l ura several media outlets that he was a nobel prize-winner Svetlana Aleksijevitj.
Victor Harju, who is Annika Strandhälls presskommunikatör write the following comment in a text message to the DN.
”It was a misunderstanding. There have been calls that he and other new members of the council might start the accounts. However, very unfortunate that the fake accounts pretending to be official. The account is notified to Twitter from the government.”
