On the 25th it pops! Magnus Uggla once said, but for Ulf Kristersson it’s already happening tonight.
He has actually turned 60 years old and the Prime Minister would not be the Prime Minister if he did not make a serious record to pay tribute to himself.
He’s been at it for a month now, Ulf. A ten day travel to South America with the family. A private party in Sagerska palatset in Stockholm. And so today, when 350 people are invited to Rosenbad to celebrate the leader of the government.
An illustrious collection of politicians, lobbyists, businessmen, the military and representatives of civil society are invited. Everything is paid for by you, me and all other taxpayers.
Every day is a party for Ulf
What’s the matter? Perhaps we must look to the culture for guidance.
In the Disney film “Alice in Wonderland”, Alice encounters the Hatter, the Easter Bunny and the Seven Sleepers who are having a non-birthday party, a cake party for all days when you don’t have a birthday. That way, every day becomes a party!
Well, not everyone is celebrating today, on what is called the poorest day of the year.
New statistics show that the household’s financial standard has fallen for the first time since the 1990s. The reason is that inflation has eaten up income increases.
More and more children are being evicted in the wake of inflation, rampant interest rates and rising food prices.
The total debt to the Bailiff breaks a record of 119 billion. Last year, the mountain of debt grew by SEK 50 million a year.
Now over 417,000 people are registered with the bailiff.
Welfare is on its knees again this yearcounts SKR witha deficit of SEK 24 billion for the regions. Several regions have introduced hiring freezes.
Before the new year, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M) announced that the economic situation will worsen this year:
– It will be winter this summer as well.
However, we should not count on any further help to deal with the economic winter.
Many reasons to party
For our Prime Minister, life is always sunny. Many are the birthdays to be celebrated.
After a mass shooting in southern Stockholm this summer that prompted the Police Union to demand a crisis commissionKristersson organized a cultural gathering.
When a terraced house was bombed in Hässelby, Kristersson was silent. However, he took the opportunity to tell which oneart he has on the walls in his study. That same evening he went to a party.
When the country was shaken by a brutal wave of murder, he went onartist E-type’s wedding.
In November, he invited influencers to look at how nice he lives.
And tonight is the time again.
Did I hear a toast?
