Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is under fire following the resignation of his childhood friend and national security advisor, Henrik Landerholm.

Landerholm stepped down after a series of mishandlings, including leaving classified documents at a course center, which led to an ongoing criminal investigation.

Critics accuse Kristersson of prioritizing personal loyalty over sound judgment, a move that has sparked allegations of favoritism and "friendship corruption.

" Opposition parties, including the Social Democrats, have filed constitutional complaints questioning the recruitment process and the lack of immediate action on the security breaches.

Kristersson has defended his handling of the situation, stating that decisions were made by the non-political organization within the government offices.

However, the controversy has left a dent in his credibility, with many questioning his leadership and decision-making.
