Kristersson on his alleged "sourness": "I am not angry" 05.07.2026

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) faces growing pressure ahead of the upcoming election, as his governing coalition experiences declining confidence in opinion polls. According to reporting from Dagens Nyheter, internal criticism has been directed at Kristersson's leadership, with critics perceiving him as sour or irritated in interview situations. Kristersson, however, rejects claims that he is angry, stating that he merely questions fundamental premises in certain issues. Despite the weak polling, the Prime Minister does not believe that voters are dissatisfied with the government's hardline stance on migration and crime. He emphasizes that a potential new mandate for the Tidö parties will focus on creating confidence in the future. At the same time, polls from DN/Ipsos show that a growing group of voters believes Sweden is moving in the right direction, although they still constitute a minority.
