After about four months of political stalemate, Sweden has a new Prime Minister, the social Democrats, Stefan Löfven. But most of all, as most commentators agree, the country has a new winner: Annie Lööf of the bourgeois centre party, one of the most popular politicians in Sweden. Without your support, Löfven would not become the head of government a “red-green” coalition. On the way, you did, Boss, an 8 percent party, the social Democrats, Löfven as from many of the concessions that the newspaper “Aftonbladet” writes, you get the feeling, “Stefan Löfven is the jockey wheel to Annie Lööf, instead of Vice versa”.
Central to the government’s program of tax cuts, the deregulation of the labour market, the liberalisation of the housing market is now – for the Left and the social Democrats, bitter pills, for Lööfs centre party, the fulfillment of old dreams. The 35-Year-old needs the success because it has taken a historical pivot: Together with a second small party, the liberals, broke out Lööf from the Alliance, since one and a half decades, the bourgeois bloc in Swedish politics.
New party Chairman of the history
With your support for the red-green minority government, she also breaks her own word: In the election campaign, she had said, the sooner you’ll make your own Shoe eat, as Löfven as Prime Minister. Annie Lööf leads to their defence, a noble motive: they had promised their voters, they will never allow the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats would have an influence on the formation of the government. To support Löfven, had been at the end of the only way.
For policy, was interested in Annie Lööf already as a schoolgirl, for football, it was goalkeeper at IFK Värnamo. She joined the centre party in which her father was active, and later studied law. When the party chose the eloquent and passionate speaker, 2011 at the age of 28 the youngest Chairman in its history, as the media described you as a rock star of the Swedish policy. Annie Lööf has helped to modernise the centre party, with the peasant roots; to the conservative-liberal economic policy, a liberal profile in the social issues that came up. In the years 2017 and 2018, the Swedes called them in several polls as the politician that they gave the greatest confidence.
Occupation: Prime Minister
Now, Lööf is attacked because of their support Löfvens online as a “traitor”. The newspaper “Svenska Dagbladet” ’t even feel the hatred campaigns against the 1986 murdered Premier, Olof Palme reminded the new Prime Minister Löfven jumped to her side: There is obviously a deep “fear of strong women,” he said. However, it is not no secret that the personal relationship between Löfven and Lööf is the best.
But as it is with Lööfs own ambitions? Your ambition has hidden Annie Lööf never. In an Interview, she said a few years ago, it was, of course, “part of the job description that I make my party so great, that I do not deserve even to be Prime Minister”.
