Anna Kinberg Batra, former governor of Stockholm, faces scrutiny after being reassigned to a government position despite severe criticism from the Ombudsman.
The controversy stems from her hiring practices, which allegedly violated constitutional requirements.
Although the government lacks confidence in her, she retains her salary due to employment regulations.
Political scientist Göran Sundström suggests that her actions should be legally examined by the State Responsibility Board, which could lead to her dismissal.
This situation has sparked public distrust in the system, highlighting the need for a review of employment rules for high-ranking officials.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has expressed openness to discussing these regulations.
