Fredrik Reinfeldt
Prime Minister of Sweden from 2006 to 2014
John Fredrik Reinfeldt (Swedish: [ˈfrěːdrɪk ˈrâjnːfɛlt] ; born 4 August 1965) is a Swedish economist and former politician who served as Prime Minister of Sweden from 2006 to 2014 and as Leader of the Moderate Party from 2003 to 2015. He was the last rotating President of the European Council in 2009. He was also chairman of the Swedish Football Association from 2023 to 2025.
A native of Stockholm County, Reinfeldt joined the Moderate Youth League in 1983. By 1992 he rose to the rank of chairman, a position he held until 1995. He served as Member of Parliament from 1991 to 2014, representing his home constituency. Reinfeldt was elected party leader on 25 October 2003, succeeding Bo Lundgren. Under his leadership, the Moderate Party has transformed its policies and oriented itself closer to the political centre, branding itself "The New Moderates" (Swedish: Nya moderaterna). In 2010, under Reinfeldt's leadership, the Moderate Party got its highest share of the vote since the introduction of universal suffrage in 1921.
Following the 2006 general election, Reinfeldt was elected prime minister on 6 October.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fredrik Reinfeldt” as prime Minister of Sweden from 2006 to 2014. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as prime Minister of Sweden from 2006 to 2014. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q52920. VIAF identifies the subject as 3631402. The Library of Congress control number is no2006076641. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 2006, 2014 and 2003.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
