The Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar highlights young people's mental health in her speech in Almedalen.

To support young people with mental health issues is one of the most important and acute things, she says.

She also calls Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson "overpaid life coaches".

The Left Party wants to invest billions in student health and increase the number of employed counselors, school doctors, and school psychologists by 6,000 people.

But student health is neglected. Each school counselor has far too many students, says Nooshi Dadgostar.

She compares the cost to the government's plans to reduce tax on ISK savings.

To support young people with mental health issues is one of the most important and acute things.

"A healthcare crisis"

Dadgostar also highlights the strained situation within healthcare.

We see a healthcare crisis. I heard Ulf Kristersson say that it doesn't exist, and that's probably the most detached from reality thing a prime minister has said during an Almedalen week, she says.

Earlier on Thursday, Dadgostar also said that she wants to see a parliamentary inquiry to reduce food prices.

The food giants have raised prices so extremely much, so exceptionally much during this short time and exploited the situation because they have such a large dominance on the market, she says to SVT.

In her speech on Thursday evening, she criticizes the government and the Sweden Democrats, whom she thinks could have done more for vulnerable households.

When the sausage has never been more expensive, when the electricity bill is skyrocketing and when the banks are raising interest rates, then they come with their good advice. Jimmie Åkesson tips on buying cheaper, Ebba wants us to dress warmer and Svantesson to book more meetings with the bank, she says and continues:

Instead of leaders who build the country, we have a bunch of gravely overpaid life coaches in Rosenbad. Rise above, Jimmie Åkesson. Rise above, Ulf Kristersson.

Extends a hand

Nooshi Dadgostar also extends a hand to the other red-green parties.

A new government requires new politics, a new direction.

Modern countries can afford to shorten working hours, less wear and tear, more time for each other. That also needs to become part of what a new government realizes.

She also says that the care allowance deduction "will be abolished".
