Magdalena Andersson has failed in a second attempt to form a Swedish government, leaving parliament deadlocked after last month’s election.
01Summary
- 01Magdalena Andersson said on Tuesday that talks with the other three parties in Sweden’s left-wing bloc had reached an impasse.
- 02She said the conditions were not in place to form a government that could be tolerated by parliament.
- 03The Centre Party opposes a government that includes the Left Party, while the Left Party says it will only support a left-wing government of which it is a member.
- 04Parliament speaker Andreas Norlen said a vote on Andersson becoming prime minister would go ahead on Thursday and that she would likely fail.
02Why it matters
The deadlock delays the formation of a new Swedish government after an election decided by a narrow margin. If it continues, it could lead to more prolonged talks or even a snap election.
