Minister of Finance Magdalena Andersson (S) was not present when the January agreement was negotiated, but Annie Lööf (C) neither confirms nor rejects that their relationship would be the explanation.

- A party leader needs to be sensitive to what a political majority looks like.

I think that Magdalena, or someone else who is now taking over the Social Democrats, must feel that you need to be in the rather messy parliamentary situation that exists, she says in SVT's interview program 30 minutes.

When asked if it is true that Magdalena Andersson was replaced by Mikael Damberg because the Minister of Finance and the Center Leader did not draw evenly, Lööf answers:

- Only Stefan Löfven can probably answer that.

I can state that she was present in December, but she was not present at the end when we negotiated the January agreement.

I actually do not know what it is due to.

Lööf describes the relationship with Andersson as good.

- I have met her in many different contexts over the years.

As professional politicians, it is important to be able to distinguish between thing and person.

We think differently, we have different ideological domiciles.
