Magdalena Andersson is given a new probe mission by the Speaker

According to Andreas Norlén, Magdalena Andersson is willing to probe again before a new government is formed - even though she resigned from that job as recently as Monday.

- The basic parliamentary conditions are the same then as now, as when Magdalena Andersson was first appointed. Therefore, it is reasonable that she resumes her probing work, said the speaker during the press conference held on Friday.

He emphasized on several occasions the importance of the parties taking the weekend to think about the situation:

- In light of the existing lockdowns, there is every reason to take a deep breath, he said and also urged everyone to put the turbulence that has been during the week behind them.

Magdalena Andersson must report back on her assignment by October 12 at the latest. After that, a prime ministerial vote will be held.

The Green Party's spokesperson Daniel Helldén comments on this in an SMS to DN:

"There is a red-green majority in the Riksdag and we will continue to be constructive in this process so that Sweden gets a red-green government in place. For us, the common starting points are a given: emissions must be reduced, welfare strengthened and we must build our country back together."

The Liberals' party leader Simona Mohamsson writes on X that she welcomes the S leader Magdalena Andersson's probe assignment from the speaker.

"In order to move on, she also needs to be tested sharply in the chamber. You can't celebrate an election win with a cake and then not do the actual job," writes Simona Mohamsson.

Magdalena Andersson (S) comments on Facebook that she received the probe assignment from the Speaker.

"I welcome the speaker's announcement and I will consider during the weekend how I can take the process forward. I hope that other parties also think through their positions."

She writes that she will continue to hold talks broadly with other parties.

"The way forward requires that all political forces act constructively, and put the best interests of Sweden and the Swedish people first."
