Euskaraz irakurri: Magdalena Andersson Suediako lehen ministerak dimisioa emango du, eskuinak hauteskundeak irabazi ondoren
Swedish Prime Minister, Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson, has announced that she will tender her resignation this Thursday after she saw the defeat of the center-left bloc against the right-wing opposition in the parliamentary elections on Sunday.
The right-wing opposition has won the election with three seats, 176 to 173, according to the electoral authority’s count, including the foreign votes and the early votes that were sent within the deadline but did not arrive on time.
The Social Democrats, the most voted force in the last century, have defended their first position, reaching 30.4%, two points more than in 2018.
In second place were the far-right Swedish Democrats (SD), with 20.6%, three points more; for the conservatives of opposition leader Ulf Kristersson, who fell by seven-tenths to 19.1%.
“Almost all votes have been counted, but the preliminary election results are clear enough,” Andersson said at a news conference. Andersson has predicted it will become a “hard” and “complicated” legislature because of the small difference and is concerned about the rise of the SD.
“That worries a lot of Swedes. I see that unease and I share it,” said the prime minister, who has urged the fight against hate and bigotry and called on the other three right-wing forces to set “limits” on the SD.
