The Social Democrats celebrated May Day in Jönköping. In her speech, party leader Magdalena Andersson handed out several boots to the current government.

On May 1, 1983, the then leader of the Social Democrats, Olof Palme, spoke at Västra torget. It took 40 years until the next sitting party leader chose to speak at Hovrättstorget. The Social Democratic leader also talked about the investment they want to make in their spring budget, where SEK 700 million will be invested.
