Magdalena Andersson, the leader of the Social Democrats, accuses Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of reneging on a promise to bolster healthcare resources, creating uncertainty among patients and healthcare workers.
Andersson pointed to a recent interview where Kristersson, unable to guarantee no layoffs, stated the government would do its part to avoid significant reductions in essential medical staff.
Previously, Kristersson had assured on TV that his government and the Sweden Democrats would present a budget aimed at preventing healthcare personnel layoffs.
Andersson criticized Kristersson for creating expectations in direct TV statements, only to falter when it came to delivering on those promises, indicating a trust issue in his leadership.
