Aida Hadzialic, the youngest minister in Sweden

Stockholm, 15 Muharram 1437/2 October 2015 (MINA) – A 27-year-old Bosnian Muslim immigrant has been named as the new Swedish minister of education, setting a role model for young, active Muslims.

Aida Hadzialic, in Stefan Löfven’s new Cabinet, is a law graduate from the University of Lund. She became the deputy mayor of the Swedish city Halmstad at the age of 23.

Born in 1987 in Bosnia, the Swedish politician is now the youngest person ever to serve as a minister in Sweden, Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) quoting Arab News as reporting on Tuesday.

Aida was five years old when her family fled from war in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Swedish politician for the Social Democrats is now the Minister for Upper Secondary School and Adult Education Initiative in Sweden.

Hadzialic became the deputy mayor of the Swedish city Halmstad at the age of 23, and she is a law graduate from the University of Lund.

Hadzialic says she became a social democrat because of the Swedish welfare model that gave her family new opportunities to start afresh after they fled from war. (T/R07/R01)
