No journalist holds the left to account

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government.

The problem for Northvolt AB, the Swedish battery developer and manufacturer, specializing in lithium-ion technology for electric vehicles, continues. Since it emerged that three workers died in their respective homes after their work shifts, one more person has died. In addition to these deaths, Northvolt AB has suffered a number of workplace accidents, such as gas leaks etc.

Two days ago, the company's CEO Peter Carlsson informed in a press release that the company is shutting down parts of its factory in Borlange due to quote "these are difficult but necessary decisions to improve the economy and strengthen the business" unquote.

The former Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson stood in a parliamentary debate in 2022 and boasted about the various green investments that the then government had given tax money to. Since 2019, 26 serious workplace accidents have been reported at Northvolt AB and the silence from Magdalena Andersson and her cooperation partner the Green Party has been deafening. It is as if Magdalena Andersson's speech in the Parliament in 2022 where she praised herself and the Green Party for their investments in Northvolt AB never happened.

Given the enormous problems the company has and has had, I highly doubt that the company will survive despite all the billions that the previous government pumped into the company.
