At restaurant Vippabacken outside Överkalix, the Social Democratic party leader met with Överkalix residents to discuss what is closest to their hearts.

"It is clear that many people talk about food prices, fuel prices and electricity prices," says Magdalena Andersson.

New proposal for lower electricity prices

During a press conference later, Magdalena Andersson presented her party's proposal for lower electricity prices for ordinary people, so-called folkhemsel.

" The proposal folkhemsel means that the Swedish people should be able to join forces, via the state, and put pressure on the electricity companies to get stable electricity prices, said Magdalena Andersson (S).

Brought up price examples

The example she brought up was a villa in Norrbotten with 20,000 kilowatt hours in annual consumption. In that case, it could be about going from an electricity bill of about SEK 5,200 a month to being SEK 2,700 a month, the party says.
