Swedish Centre Party Leader Steps Down
Anna-Karin Hatt, leader of Sweden's Centre Party, has announced her resignation due to ongoing hatred and threats.
Hatt, who took over as leader in May, cited a constant sense of insecurity, stating:
Constantly feeling like I have to monitor my surroundings and looking over my shoulder, never feeling completely safe, not even at home... I am affected much more deeply by this than I thought I would be.
This decision follows a similar incident in 2022, where former Centre Party leader Annie Lööf was the intended target of a suspected terror attack at Sweden's Almedalen political festival.
