In a TV interview on Saturday, Löfven promised to solve the “challenges” – as he calls the problems, that the country faces.
However, it has also been announced recently that migration to Sweden will be allowed to increase under his governance – since, among other things, family migration and reunion restrictions that were implemented in 2015 will now be lifted.
How he will manage to pull these two contradictory promises through at the same time is unknown.
One thing’s very clear though, no politician – or person, before him has ever managed to solve any problem without first stopping the cause of it.
Exactly how his party’s politics will affect Sweden, the Swedes and the rest of the world will find out in the coming months and years.
