Andersson Pushes Vision for Sweden at Almedalen

Published: 2024-06-27

During Almedalen Week, Magdalena Andersson addressed a wide array of political topics, such as screen time, climate change, and the removal of the sick day deduction.

Her speech also included a proposal for Sweden's future, emphasizing affordable housing for the young and promoting a secure environment for starting families.

Additionally, the Social Democrats proposed making Swedish the primary language in schools with a requirement that 75% of lessons be in Swedish, up from the current 50%.

This move aims to challenge major private school companies that offer English-based education.

The audience responded positively to Andersson's vision-heavy speech, focusing on hope and opportunities.
