We'll see in the event of an election victory exactly how we'll organize this work, if we'll do it the same way as Ulf Kristersson and Henrik Landerholm decided to do. I'm not convinced about that.

Sweden's new national security adviser Tobias Thyberg left his position last week after just a few hours, due to sensitive images on a dating app. His predecessor Henrik Landerholm left the same position in January this year, after several security breaches.

Magdalena Andersson tells Expressen that she has no insight into the security clearance or the images, but is critical of more of the Prime Minister's recruitments.

It's the second time that a recruitment to this very important position and one of Kristersson's projects has failed. And I can also establish that other recruitments made by Kristersson haven't gone well either.
