When Nyamko Sabuni delivered his speech at the Liberal Party Council in Stockholm, he did not mention the failure of the latest negotiations. Not in a single word. But after the speech, in the lobby of Tensta Library, he once again defends his position in an interview with TT:
– We knew that the negotiations might not come to an end. That is why it is said in the January agreement: that if the partners are not successful, we will appoint an investigation. What the investigation concludes is what will become law, says Nyamko Sabuni.
TT: LO said no to the last deal. What would it take to change your mind?
– That LO sits with the other partners and accepts, Sabuni responds quickly.
“Risking a crisis”
Anna Starbrink (left), regional councilor in Stockholm, does not believe that the benefit of sticking to the research proposal is commensurate with the political chaos that could lead to a government crisis and a possible extra election.
Nyamko Sabuni responds to criticism:
– You are right that there is a risk of crisis, but the liberals are not responsible for these risks, says Sabuni and refers to the threat from the Left Party of a vote of no confidence.
– And it is Stefan Löfven who needs to handle that problem, continues Sabuni.
Leader L emphasizes that the party will not back down in making law of the latest investigation.
At the same time, Liberals are struggling with scant voter support, at least if opinion polls are to be believed. The SVT / Novus voter barometer for October, released this week, showed the party continuing below the parliamentary barrier and after the SVT party leader debate, Nyamko Sabuni received a low rating from viewers.
TT: How are you going to reverse the negative trend?
– By doing what we do now: we develop policy, we communicate it, we do what we say we will do. This is how we build trust, this is also how we can win the elections in 2022, says Nyamko Sabuni.
Compared to the 80s
During Nyamko Sabuni’s speech at the party council, completely different topics were discussed. Among other things, gang crime.
– Järva is now an area where there are fewer jobs and more contributions. Instead of watching children play, we see young children who are guardians of the criminal gangs that are now issuing curfews, Sabuni said.
She compared what it is like in Tensta in the Järva area today to what it was like there in the 1980s, when she was a teenager. She described it as a time when she and her cousins felt safe. He is still happy that his parents decided to settle in Kungsängen.
– It gave me the opportunity to learn real Swedish. It gave me the opportunity to show what I could in a job interview instead of being disqualified when applying. That meant I didn’t have to lie when I answered the question – and where do you live somewhere?
Low expectations
Nyamko Sabuni also spoke about how devastating low expectations can be, which she experienced herself.
– Because I was a good girl, I did my homework and I performed well. But when I told my teacher that I am not happy with all three, I want four and five, the words came back: “Nyamko, you are an immigrant, this is great.”
He said a driving force in all of his political work is that this should never affect other children.
That is why liberals are investing in making the suburbs safer, including through a housing policy program.
The Liberal Party Council is the second highest decision-making body in the party and is held every year as it is not the National Assembly, which is the highest decision-making body. This year’s party council is being held digitally due to the pandemic.
