Ture Lennart Bodström (20 April 1928 – 30 April 2015) was a Swedish politician born in Gothenburg, who served as the Minister for Foreign Affairs in Olof Palme's Social Democratic cabinet from 1982 to 1985.[1]
His refusal, without further evidence, to participate in the accusations against the Soviet Union regarding its possible submarine operations in Swedish waters led to a motion of confidence against him in the Riksdag, which failed. This is still as of 2008[update] the only time such a motion has been raised against a single member of a Swedish government (although some have resigned facing the threat of one).[citation needed]
Following the 1985 election, Bodström was reassigned to the post of Minister for Education.[1][2] Bodström's son Thomas Bodström is also a Social Democratic politician.[1]
He died one week and three days after his 87th birthday.
