Swedish centre-left Prime Minister Stefan Lofven was ousted in a
no-confidence vote in parliament on Monday, plunging the country into
deep political uncertainty as it tackles the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lofven, who was defeated after nearly seven years in power over a plan
to ease rent controls for new-build apartments, now has a week to resign
and hand the speaker the job of finding a new government, or call a snap
election.
With parliament deadlocked and opinion polls showing centre-right and
centre-left blocs evenly balanced, the political crisis may not be
resolved quickly, though economists say this would be unlikely to have a
big impact on the economy.
"The government now has a week to decide and we will hold talks with our
cooperation parties," Lovfen told a news conference after the vote.
"It is what is best for the country that is important. We will work as
fast as we can."
The nationalist Sweden Democrats called the vote after the formerly
communist Left Party withdrew support for the led by Lofven's Social
Democrats over the rent control reforms, an important issue for many
voters. read more
The no-confidence motion, which required 175 votes in the 349-seat
parliament to pass, was supported by 181 lawmakers.
