Sweden, for the first time a female prime minister: but resigns after a few hours

BERLIN – As expected, Magdalena Andersson she is the first Swedish woman-premier. But she has already resigned. With Parliament’s no to his financial statement, his mission lasted a few hours. Elected days ago by the ruling party (the historic social democracy, Sap) as new leader in place of the resigning political leader and premier Stefan Löfvén, today Andersson, the outgoing finance minister, had just been in fact automatically confirmed, albeit with difficulty, head of the executive by the Riksdag, the unicameral parliament of the first Nordic power.
