The Löfven II government has been the incumbent Swedish government since January 21, 2019. It is a two-party coalition, the Social Democrats and the Greens .

background

After the parliamentary elections on September 9, 2018, there were four months of negotiations between the Social Democrats, the Greens, the Center Party and the Liberals, among others . These four parties entered into an agreement in January 2019. The Löfven I government, which remained in office , initially had to govern in accordance with the budget of moderates and Christian Democrats adopted by the Reichstag on December 12, 2018 . With only 116 out of 349 seats (33%) in the Reichstag (Swedish parliament), the red-green coalition was considered one of the weakest minority governmentsSwedish history and was dependent on the support of other parties in the Reichstag. Löfven announced his cabinet ministers in a parliamentary session on January 21, 2019; after an official government meeting with King Carl XVI. Gustaf constituted the cabinet.

A government reshuffle became necessary on September 10, 2019 because Ylva Johansson had been nominated for the European Commission and Margot Wallström had announced her resignation. The previous Minister of Commerce, Ann Linde, took over the management of the Foreign Ministry from Wallström and was replaced by Anna Hallberg . Eva Nordmark replaced the previous Labor Minister Johansson.

Vote of no confidence

On June 21, 2021, the Swedish parliament passed a vote of no confidence in the government. The motion of no confidence was initiated by Sverigedemokraterna . The application found support from the socialist Vänsterpartiet , which was dissatisfied with a liberalization of the rental market policy. Conservative parties also supported the proposal, as their policies against unemployment and crime did not go far enough. After the vote of no confidence, the government must either resign or call new elections within a week.
