Biography of Hans Persson
Hans Persson, born in Sweden, served as the Prime Minister of Sweden from 1996 to 2006. He gained widespread attention when he announced his decision to divorce his wife, Annika, causing a stir across Europe.
Decision to Divorce
Hans Persson, aged 54 at the time, shocked Europe with the announcement of his divorce from his wife, Annika. In a statement, he expressed his regret over the dissolution of their marriage, stating, "It is always unfortunate when a marriage falls apart, and I deeply regret it. However, please understand that divorce is a strictly personal matter, and I will refrain from making any further comments on the subject."
On the other hand, Annika, was more forthcoming in her press statement, stating that Hans had chosen his career and desired to be in the center of power.
Living Arrangements
Hans spends most of his time in Stockholm, residing in the official residence "Sagerska Huset" and his country house in Harpsund. Meanwhile, Annika resides in Malmö, in the southern part of Sweden, where their shared home is located. Interestingly, Annika has not rushed to sign the divorce papers, stating that it is not particularly pleasant to divide assets during the Christmas season.
