Aida
Hadzialic,Sweden’s Minister for Higher Education says she’s
resigning immediately from the center-left minority coalition after
being caught drunk driving after having two glasses of wine.
Aida
Hadzialic told a news conference on Saturday Aug 13,2016 that she was stopped on
Thursday evening Aug 11,2016 by police in the southern Swedish city of Malmo with a
blood-alcohol level of .02, which is illegal in Sweden. She faces a
sentence of up to 6 months in prison.
The
29-year-old Ms. Hadzialic told Prime Minister Stefan Lofven on Friday
Aug 12,2016 about “my life’s biggest mistake” and decided to step down.
Born
in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ms. Hadzialic became Sweden’s first Muslim
Minister when she joined Lofven’s government in 2014. She came to Sweden
at age five.
European nations are strict about drunk driving and have much lower allowable alcohol limits than the United States.
