Two Swedish cabinet ministers resign

Swedish Minister of Culture Cecilia Stego Chilo has resigned after staying in office for less than 10 days, local media reported on Monday.

Her resignation followed that of Foreign Trade Minister Maria Borelius on Saturday.

Both ministers had failed to pay employer's taxes for nannies and TV license fees, reports said.

Stego Chilo's resignation was announced in a press release on the government's website.

The two resignations rocked Prime Minister Reinfeldt's four- party government, which took office on Oct. 6 after defeating the Social Democrats in legislative elections on Sept. 17.
