STOCKHOLM: Sweden's prime minister threatened to step down if the opposition ousted the justice minister after the centre-right opposition earlier on Thursday threatened to do so in a vote of no-confidence.
The Moderates, the Liberals and the Christian Democrats parties said they would support a no-confidence vote against Justice and Interior minister Morgan Johansson after the populist Sweden Democrats party called for one next week.Prime Minster Magdalena Andersson told a news conference she would"certainly" step down and that the government would then resign too if Johansson were voted out.
