Dadgostar's Trust Plummets Amid Controversy

Published: 2024-12-01

Nooshi Dadgostar, leader of Sweden's Left Party, is experiencing a significant decline in public trust.

Recent surveys by Indikator for Ekot reveal an eight percentage point drop in her approval rating, from 29% in June to 21% in November.

This decline is attributed to recent controversies involving antisemitic content shared by local party members on social media.

Political commentator Fredrik Furtenbach notes that the party's previous success during the EU elections has now waned.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of the Moderate Party has seen a rise in trust, increasing from 43% to 46% over the same period.
