Anna Kinberg Batra, former governor of Stockholm, has been reassigned to a director role in the Swedish government, maintaining her previous salary despite being dismissed due to criticism from the Ombudsman.

This decision has sparked public outrage, highlighting issues of accountability and transparency within government appointments.

Critics argue that such moves contribute to growing distrust in political figures, as they seem to benefit from a system that offers lucrative positions despite past failures.

The situation is exacerbated by Sweden's current high unemployment rate, with nearly half a million people jobless, while government funding for job training is being cut.

The controversy underscores a perceived double standard in how political figures are treated compared to ordinary citizens facing unemployment.
