Euskaraz irakurri: Magdalena Andersson Suediako lehen ministerak dimisioa emango du, eskuinak hauteskundeak irabazi ondoren
The Swedish prime minister, the social democrat Magdalena Andersson, has announced that this Thursday she will present her resignation after confirming the defeat of the center-left bloc against the right-wing opposition in the legislative elections on sunday.
The right-wing opposition has won the elections by three seats, 176 to 173, according to the Electoral Authority’s count, which includes the foreign vote and the early votes sent within the deadline, but which did not arrive on time.
The Social Democrats, the most voted force in the last century, have defended their first position and have achieved 30.4%, two points more than in 2018.
In second position was the far-right Sweden Democrats (SD), with 20.6%, three points more; ahead of the conservatives of the opposition leader, Ulf Kristersson, who have dropped seven tenths to 19.1%.
“Almost all the votes have been counted, but the preliminary electoral result is clear enough,” Andersson told a news conference. Andersson has predicted that it will be a “hard” and “complicated” legislature due to the small difference and she has expressed concern about the rise of the SD.
“That makes many Swedes uneasy. I see that uneasiness and I share it,” said the prime minister, who has urged to combat hatred and intolerance and has called on the other three right-wing forces to put “limits” on the SD.
