Background & Purpose

Members of parliament often submit complaints if they believe the government has acted incorrectly or failed in its duties. This annual review is a key part of the Swedish democratic system to keep the government accountable.

The Decision

The parliament debated the findings of the review and officially closed the case, meaning no new laws or changes were made as a result of this specific process.
