Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has lost a no-confidence vote, giving the Social Democrat leader a week to resign and hand the speaker the job of finding a new government or call a snap election.
Lofven, 63, has served as premier since 2014 and is the first Swedish prime minister to lose a no-confidence motion.
The motion, which required 175 votes in the 349-seat parliament to pass, was supported by 181 legislators.
The motion of no confidence was filed by the Sweden Democrats and Sweden Democrat leader Jimmie Akesson told Parliament the government was harmful and historically weak.
