    In recent decades, Sweden has gone in the wrong direction, the Social Democrats believe. Society has drifted apart instead of coming together, says party leader Magdalena Andersson in her summer speech at Högbo bruk in Sandviken on Sunday.

    – We must come together so that everyone who works hard and contributes to our country gets the justice, security and respect they deserve, says Andersson.

    She says that everyone in Sweden should be able to trust the healthcare, trust that there is a safety net in case of unemployment and a pension to live on.

    – When you work, pay taxes and do what’s right for you, you should be able to live a good life, says Magdalena Andersson.

    The S leader criticizes the government for having focused on lowering taxes for high-income earners instead of investing in healthcare.

    – The gaps are increasing and the social community is loosening up, she says.
