Left demands a response from Löfven in SVT party leader debate



[ad_1]

On Sunday, party leaders meet for a live debate on the SVT Agenda. Then the eight party leaders will discuss, among other things, labor law, a topic that has quickly become one of the hottest political issues. This is because the Left Party has threatened to file a vote of no confidence in the Riksdag if Stefan Löfven makes excessive changes to the Las rules.

Nooshi Dadgostar, who at the end of October is elected new party leader by the Left Party after the resignation of Jonas Sjöstedt, says that in the SVT debate they will demand a response from Stefan Löfven if he will change the rules and if so how.

– Then he must advise if he wants to remain prime minister, he says in Ekot’s interview on Saturday.

Nooshi Dadgostar further states that Stefan Löfven does not “take forever” to leave a reply and if he does not receive a message, he will not hesitate to proceed with a vote of no confidence.

– Yes, there is no doubt about it, she says.

“Defend the Swedish model”

According to the January agreement between the government, the Center Party and the Liberals, the proposals of the reading inquiry will be implemented if the social partners cannot agree. Negotiations failed on September 30. Both the Center Party and the Liberals believe that the latest investigation is one of the key parts of the January agreement and therefore must be carried out.

The prime minister’s press secretary, Maria Soläng, says today that Stefan Löfven stands up for the Swedish model and employee safety.

– The proposals that the government will finally present will work for both employees and companies, he says.

“Until the test”

On Sunday, when there is a debate with the party leader, Löfven is expected to say whether he agrees with Sjöstedt’s demands. But, according to SVT policy commentator Mats Knutson, Löfven’s message is unlikely to be something Jonas Sjöstedt and the Left Party are happy with, which means that the next step will be Sjöstedt’s.

– Now it depends on the test: will you pass it or back down at the last second? says Mats Knutson.

To arouse mistrust on the day of risk, the Left Party needs the support of another party and to overthrow the government, a parliamentary majority is needed. Christian Democrats have said they will support any mistrust. Swedish moderates and Democrats will also support it, but both have expressed doubts that the left really makes a difference.
