Amidst growing pressures for renewal within the Social Democratic Party of Sweden, an internal revolt against leader Magdalena Andersson looms if she fails to embrace significant changes in policy and leadership.
Key figures around Andersson, including Mikael Damberg and Morgan Johansson, are under scrutiny as the party seeks a younger, more dynamic image.
Lisa Nåbo, chair of the Social Democratic Youth, underscores the urgency for a generational shift, emphasizing the need for leaders who have lived through the market society's limitations.
This internal discord surfaces as Andersson's popularity wanes, despite previously high approval ratings, and the party's voter support declines ahead of the EU elections.
