Consultations with parties

Before the press conference, Norlén held telephone conversations with leaders and representatives of political parties. As The Local Sweden reports, the speaker plans to analyse the information received from the parties and continue informal consultations.

Vote on Andersson

On Thursday, parliament did not support the candidacy of Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson for the post of prime minister. According to the publication, the situation on the centre-left remains deadlocked because of mutually unacceptable conditions set by the Centre Party and the Left Party.

At the same time, the right-wing political camp does not have enough votes for a majority in parliament.
