A change of party leader in a parliamentary party is, of course, a major event both internally for the party but also for the entire political life.
Therefore, it is obvious for Agenda, SVT's political magazine, to devote a large part of tonight's broadcast to analyzes and comments on the change of party leader in the Social Democrats and its effects on the political direction and government of Sweden.
We have of course invited the Social Democrats' newly elected party leader Magdalena Andersson (S) to be directly in our studio or to be interviewed by Agenda in connection with the Social Democratic party congress in Gothenburg.
This is what we have done and will do with several other of the parliamentary parties that will hold a congress or party meeting during the autumn.
In some cases, we have interviewed party leaders before their meetings, such as the moderate leader Ulf Kristersson (M) and the Center Party's Annie Lööf (C).
Social Democratic party leaders have for many years been interviewed by Agenda in connection with the party's congresses.
But this time Magdalena Andersson (S) chose to refuse to be interviewed in Agenda.
We have also invited the Social Democrats' newly elected party secretary, Tobias Baudin, for an interview.
Baudin, who was previously chairman of the trade union Kommunal, has also declined participation.
