Radio Sweden Weekly: Seven and a half bumpy hours for Sweden's first female prime minister

Radio Sweden - Un podcast de Sveriges Radio

Magdalena Andersson got off to a rocky start as Sweden's first female prime minister, and decided to stand down after just seven and a half hours - before she had even been formally instated. In today's programme, we try to make sense of what happened in those hours and what the implications for the future of Swedish politics are.The programme includes a discussion with Marcus Åsling, editorial writer for Östersunds-Posten, which has a political profile close to the Centre Party and Leonidas Aretakis, editor-in-chief of the left-leaning Flamman, that calls itself "independently socialist".We hear MPs reflect on the historic vote, before it all fell apart - and visit a local cinema to hear how they will deal with the new restrictions on indoor public events that will come into force on December 1st.Presenter: Ulla EngbergProducer: Kris Boswell
