Anna Kinberg Batra, former governor of Stockholm, has been reassigned to a director role within the Swedish government, maintaining her monthly salary of 114,800 kronor.

This move follows her dismissal due to severe criticism from the Ombudsman, who highlighted her improper hiring practices.

Despite the controversy, her new position will last until February 2029, ensuring her a substantial income.

Civil Minister Erik Slottner expressed confidence in her future contributions, although the decision to remove her was based on the need to restore public trust.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's decision to dismiss her aims to mitigate any potential damage to his administration's reputation, though it has not bolstered public confidence in the government.
