The current spokesperson is, for example, pointing out that certain managers have been moved closer to the spokespersons so that they can become more agile.

It is clear that there were perhaps some things, such as they had organized themselves, which were not as good, says Daniel Helldén in Ekot's Saturday interview.

Stenevi resigned in February 2024. She was then mentally very unwell with eating disorders and suicidal thoughts, according to her upcoming autobiography. She had previously been criticized for her leadership style and felt that everyone was talking about her and no one with her. Stenevi also criticizes the party's system with two spokespersons.

In all that power that it was constantly claimed that I had, I was completely powerless, Stenevi has said to DN.

Helldén, on the other hand, thinks it's good with two spokespersons. About Stenevi feeling so unwell during her last time as spokesperson, he says in Ekot:

No human being should have to feel so unwell. We didn't understand it, but we know it now and it's in the book.

Helldén was elected as spokesperson in November
