She appreciated the party leader’s visit, but is doubtful whether it will lead to any changes.

Do you feel that the healthcare issue is taken seriously?

– No, I don’t think so. Not on as large a scale as it should, because this is an issue that affects everyone, she says.

The fact that the Social Democrats are now cooperating with the Moderates in the region is something that Magdalena Andersson is positive regarding.

– That the Social Democrats and the Moderates can work together is good news for everyone who lives here, it can create stability and predictability, she says.
