There will be two new ministers who will complement the government very well, says the Prime Minister on his way into the Riksdag.

When asked if he has topped the team, he responds:

I always have a top team.

Tobias Billström announced hastily that he is resigning as Foreign Minister on Wednesday and Jessika Roswall is quitting as EU Minister to become an EU Commissioner.

Kristersson says further that it feels really good right now in the middle of the term and that people are starting to see the results of the government's policy. He says that inflation has been defeated, more crimes are being solved, migration is historically low, and the government is taking steps towards new nuclear power.

At the same time, the government and the Sweden Democrats are behind the opposition in the opinion polls.

We have a lot of work left, but I'm incredibly psyched to go into the second half, says Kristersson.
