The statements in My Truth can be controversial in one's own party.
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven usually blames the problems with migration and integration on the previous alliance government under Fredrik Reinfeldt's leadership.
He seldom usually wants to take any responsibility for this himself, despite the fact that the Social Democrats at that time never criticized the government for pursuing a too generous refugee policy.
Nevertheless, the content of what Annika Strandhäll says in Min sanning is essentially a mirror image of the migration and integration policy pursued by the Social Democrats today.
Parts of the party, which still adhere to the previously more generous stance, may be upset, but within the party leadership and large parts of the party there is broad support for a more restrictive refugee policy.
Never backs away from a fight
Annika Strandhäll is one of the Social Democrats' most controversial politicians.
Colorful and with a high tail in social media, she has made herself known as a politician who never backs down a fight with political opponents.
During her time as Minister of Social Insurance, she managed by a narrow margin a no-confidence vote in the Riksdag, but later resigned after her partner took her own life.
Today she is a member of parliament, but would probably not mind returning to the hot air in the government.
A self-critical Strandhäll
In the interview in Min sanning, she gets questions about migration and integration policy and the fact that the Social Democrats have lost voters to the Sweden Democrats in recent years.
Annika Strandhäll is obviously self-critical here and believes that her party has tried to cover up the problems of integration and increased segregation.
“You can't sweep problems under the rug.
We do no one a favor by doing that, ”she states, among other things.
Otherwise, Annika Strandhäll was for a long time a warm supporter of a generous refugee reception.
In the autumn of 2015, in the middle of the refugee crisis, she wrote on social media, among other things, "Now we are mobilizing the whole of Sweden to welcome people fleeing for their lives and give them a good start."
Can irritate party colleagues
Today she obviously makes a different assessment.
"We have to cope with the integration of the people who have come here before we can manage to open up and receive more," she says in the interview.
She admits today that both she and many others today look at the issue in a different way, not least due to the experiences from the autumn of 2015. The problems with integration and segregation had long increased, but became more apparent during and after the refugee crisis.
"An integration problem and a segregation that has increased for a long time was a bit put on steroids," she says.
These statements can certainly irritate parts of the Social Democratic Party, but the statements are unlikely to provoke any criticism from the party leadership.
On the contrary, this is exactly how social democratic policy has changed in recent years.
Annika Strandhäll is also not the only politician who has changed her mind on the refugee issue in recent years.
Many politicians have done this, in several different parties.
No other political issue has been the subject of such a fundamental reassessment within most parties as migration policy.
