After the 2018 elections, it was all about which government could take office. After an entire autumn of negotiations, presidential rounds and a broken alliance, the parliamentary parties landed on the release of Stefan Löfven as prime minister. The January agreement was a compromise, in which the Center Party and the Liberals carried out much of their policy of allowing the Social Democrats and the Green Party to form a minority government.
Now Annie Lööf goes one step further and announces that she is ready to sit in a government together with the Social Democrats.
– What guides us after the next elections is on which center-right political areas we go through, how the other parties defend cooperation with the marginalized and the outcome of the elections, he tells Expressen.
Lööf refuses to convey any comments Tuesday night, but refers to the quote from Expressen’s interview. According to its press release, the party has not ruled on whether the decision concerns an S-led government or an S-led government. They want to wait for the outcome of the elections to make a decision on that issue.
Annie Lööf has previously criticized the attitude of the moderates towards the Swedish Democrats. When M’s leader Ulf Kristersson said in January that the Swedish Democrats’ rhetoric has changed in recent years and that his party has very common points of contact with SD, he had the following to say on SVT’s 30-minute program.
– As long as Ulf Kristersson insists that he will negotiate a budget with the Sweden Democrats, a xenophobic populist party, as long as he has thoughts of putting the finances of the state in the hands of that party, we will not be able to cooperate.
In the Expressen interview, he says it is not the Center who changed their minds when it comes to who they can imagine ruling with, without M.
– It is a very clear change that the moderates made last year. Where now they fully advocate a budget collaboration with the Swedish Democrats. And the moderates must choose the path: You cannot simultaneously negotiate a budget with the Center Party if you also negotiate a budget with the Swedish Democrats, he says.
Moderate policy spokesperson Elisabeth Svantesson calls Lööf’s latest statement “good consumer information.”
– A vote for C is not only a vote for Stefan Löfven but also for the Left Party. The Center Party defines its role in Swedish politics for years to come, says Svantesson in SVT Current Affairs.
The youth union of the Center Party they are critical of Lööf’s message.
– For us, it is not relevant to sit in a government led by S. On the other hand, we fully agree that a budget collaboration with V is out of the question. The Left Party is very far from us ideologically and in terms of values, says Ida Alterå, president of Cuf.
