Moderate Party accused of welfare fraud after SVT investigation

Following poor results in SCB's party sympathy survey, the Moderate Party accuses the Social Democrats of spreading lies about welfare cuts. The Moderate leadership claims that welfare has received more funding every year under their governance, but SVT's review shows that regions went into deficit in both 2023 and 2024 when inflation is factored in. The Moderates confirm that their funding increase is calculated only in nominal kronor and point to the fight against inflation as the explanation. The opinion poll shows a substantial lead for the opposition with a 12.6 percentage point difference between the blocs.
