During a party leaders debate at Kulturhuset in Stockholm on Monday evening, Magdalena Andersson criticized Ulf Kristersson's use of the word ladies. The remark came amid discussions on the economy and asylum policy.
In the debate Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson faced Magdalena Andersson and Nooshi Dadgostar. Kristersson said that during the ladies time last time 320 000 new asylum seekers arrived.
Magdalena Andersson later responded that it sounded a bit condescending and diminishing. She added that it was a spontaneous comeback when she mentioned the gentlemen.
At the same time the economy was discussed vigorously. Andersson claimed growth had been below potential with almost 100 000 more unemployed. Kristersson argued that Sweden is now at the top of the growth league and that Andersson is blackening the economy.
