King Carl Gustav XVI, King of Sweden, said in an annual Christmas TV interview that “I think we have failed”, Reuters and the BBC reported on the 17th (local time).

King Gustav, who refrains from commenting on politics, said in an interview to be aired on the 21st, “Many people have died and this is terrible. It is what causes us pain,” he criticized the government’s response to Corona 19.

The king said, “The people of Sweden suffered enormously under difficult conditions,” he said. “If you can’t say goodbye to your family and say goodbye to your family, it will be very difficult and will remain scars.”

The 74-year-old king asked if he was worried about the Corona 19 infection, “The coronavirus is getting closer and closer. That’s something nobody wants.”

Sweden has about 7900 corona19 deaths and 350,000 confirmed cases, far more than neighboring countries.

This month alone, more than 1,000 deaths from Corona 19 and more than 70 deaths per day are approaching the peak in mid-April.

Meanwhile, the Coronavirus Committee, which independently investigated the government’s response to Corona 19, strongly criticized the government and health authorities on the 15th for failing to prevent the devastation of nursing homes due to Corona 19, and the media and opposition parties also criticized the government’s lukewarm Corona 19 response policy.
