Ebba Busch says Jimmie Åkesson doesn't work that much

Minister of Energy and Industry Ebba Busch (KD) appeared on Kyrkans Tidning's podcast Vox Populi recently and said that there is a "class difference between Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson" regarding work capacity.

If you compare our calendars during this term of office, for example, he hasn't worked that much compared with how much I or many others work, Busch says about Åkesson in an interview with SvD.

The statement has caused irritation within the Sweden Democrats.

"It is remarkably disloyal to try to score points on the fact that Åkesson was on sick leave eleven years ago," a source within the party tells Expressen.
