In October 2006 two newly appointed Reinfeldt ministers, Maria Borelius and Cecilia Stegö Chilò, resigned within days after tax, fee, and licence controversies, turning the Alliance victory into an immediate cabinet-ethics test.

In the chronology of the Swedish model, this anchors 2006 under Fredrik Reinfeldt as a year shaped by institutions, public conflict, reform, or security policy rather than cabinet arithmetic alone.

Source confidence is B: the basic event is promoted, while broader interpretation still depends on the cited source tier and later primary-source upgrades.
