V wants to invest billions in student health and increase the number of counselors, school doctors and school psychologists employed by 6,000 people.
– But student health is neglected. Every school counselor has way too many students, says Nooshi Dadgostar.
Almedal week
Youth politician at the Almedal Week: “Missing the perspective of young people”

She compares the cost to the government’s plans to lower the tax on ISK savings.
– Supporting young people with mental illness is one of the most important and urgent things.
“A healthcare crisis”
Dadgostar also raises the vulnerable situation in healthcare.
– We see a healthcare crisis. I heard Ulf Kristersson say that it does not exist, and that is probably the most unrealistic thing a prime minister has said during an Almedal week, she says.
Earlier on Thursday, Dadgostar also said that she wants to see a parliamentary inquiry into lowering food prices.
– The food giants have raised prices so incredibly much, so exceptionally much in this short time and have taken advantage of the situation because they have such great dominance in the market, she says to SVT.
In her speech on Thursday evening, she gives a thumbs up to the government and SD, which she thinks could have done more for vulnerable households.
– When the falu sausage has never been more expensive, when the electricity bill soars and when the banks drive up interest rates, then they come with their good advice. Jimmie Åkesson suggests shopping cheaper, Ebba wants us to dress warmer and Svantesson that we book more meetings with the bank, she says and continues:
– Instead of leaders who build the country, we have a bunch of grossly overpaid life coaches in Rosenbad. Get up, Jimmie Åkesson. Rise up, Ulf Kristersson.
Extends a hand
Nooshi Dadgostar also extends a hand to the other red-green parties.
– A new government requires new policies, a new orientation.
– Modern countries can afford to shorten working hours, less drudgery, more time for each other. It also needs to become part of what a new government implements.
She also says that in that case the qualifying deduction “should go away”.
