Ronneby's political landscape has been shaken by controversies surrounding key figures from the Moderate Party.

Former education committee chair Åsa Evaldsson is under scrutiny for refusing to repay incorrectly received compensation for political assignments.

Meanwhile, municipal councilor Roger Fredriksson has faced a storm of criticism over allegations of misuse of public funds, including approving his own credit card purchases without providing receipts, and derogatory comments towards senior officials.

Despite the backlash and calls for his resignation from within his party and the community, Fredriksson has managed to secure a new governing coalition with the Social Democrats, surprising many observers who thought his long tenure was at an end.
