Just hours after Andersson was approved by the Swedish parliament (Riksdag), her budget was voted down. 

Instead, the Riksdag approved the budget proposal from the opposition parties Moderaterna (M), Kristdemokraterna (KD), and Sverigedemokraterna (SD).

The Green Party did not support Andersson’s budget, so it left the governing coalition.
