On Friday, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M) announced that there is, in principle, no room for reforms left for the next term.
On Monday, the government received sharp criticism from the Fiscal Policy Council for borrowing large sums to upgrade the defense, while at the same time lowering income tax.
The parties in the Riksdag agree to borrow for defense, and the S also lowers income tax in its shadow budget for 2026.
When asked what she would have done differently compared to the government, Andersson says:
From day one, I would have pursued a completely different economic policy so that we would not have ended up in this situation with mass unemployment and low growth.
