Jimmie Åkesson stops at the wooden door of the Folketing Hall and takes his mobile phone to photograph the text:
“Meth logh scal land byggies”.
A variant of the electoral language of Charles XV, which he is happy to use as his own. “The land must be built by law.”
The SD leader has invited himself to the liberal right-wing Liberal Party and idol Inger Stöjberg, a former controversial migration minister known as “Donald Trump of Denmark”, today the party’s deputy leader.
– She has been involved in many of the good things about Denmark, says Åkesson.
The Swedish sister parties of the Liberal Party are actually the Center Party and the Liberals, but in recent years the relationship with the Moderates has deepened.
– During my time as minister, I had contact with the moderates, says Inger Stöjberg, who was then in government together with the Danish People’s Party, which is now close to the SD.
“I want to be in touch”
Stöjberg is the author behind the criticized type of jewelry that was introduced four years ago, for example. A law that states that asylum seekers must leave valuables worth more than 10,000 Danish crowns, such as jewelry and cash, and thus finance their livelihood.
After the meeting, Inger Stöjberg praises the SD leader and states:
– I would very much like to keep the contact alive.
Jimmie Åkesson, who announced the other day that he would like to become justice minister in a government led by M, is also grateful.
– I have brought with me the 28 point program that was presented several years ago, a long list of interesting things that we can draw inspiration from.
A topic of conversation that can be a list of requirements in the next meeting with Ulf Kristersson and Ebba Busch.
– It is obvious that Ulf Kristersson and Ebba Busch have approached me to a very high degree, on many, many issues, related to integration, migration and legal policy. It is in itself a step in the right direction.
– It is clear that if an M-led government were to take office and become dependent on us, it is in these areas that we will make demands and ensure that policy not only stays in the right direction, but takes big steps in the right direction. , He says. The leader of SD.
“Natural to tune in”
Sometimes they meet in the moderate leader’s room, sometimes they agree over the phone, according to Åkesson.
– It is natural that you agree with the big themes.
The message that Kristersson does not want to form a government with SD, he takes it in stride.
– The most important thing is that Stefan Löfven is fired.
If you play around with the idea that SD has its own majority and you are prime minister, what three decisions are the first you would make?
– It must be linked to justice and migration policy. I would immediately ensure that our migration program becomes a reality, the second is a comprehensive gang and clan-based crime program in Sweden, the third is a new energy policy that guarantees an energy supply in Sweden even when not windy …
More nuclear energy?
– More nuclear energy.
It has been a dramatic and turbulent six months in many ways. How would you describe the last six months?
– It has been revolutionary and strange not having the same routines as always, not going to Stockholm in the weeks and working at the Riksdag. Physical encounters are worth a lot.
The SD leader also comments on the burning of the Quran that has taken place in various places recently.
– I think it’s really unnecessary.
Is “unnecessary” the correct word?
– Yes, I think it is a political demonstration that I find difficult to sympathize with. But having said that, we have the right to demonstrate and do such things in Sweden and it is important to preserve that right. It is not reasonable that it leads to unrest and polarization in the way we have seen in Malmö, for example.
Jimmie Åkesson talks about …
… EU responsibility following the fire in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos:
– It is largely a question of resources and from what I understand both the EU and Sweden will help in different ways. So this highlights a problem that exists in the border country between Turkey and the EU, where many refugees are in no-man’s-land. We do not have the capacity to allow everyone to enter Europe. On the contrary. Significantly less than what is coming today should come here.
… the lack of women in leadership positions within the Swedish Democrats:
– I think we have a lot of women in important positions who do a really fantastic job. We have Jessica Stegrud in the European Parliament, we have Louise Erixon (city councilor in Sölvesborg and ex-partner of the party leader, red note), and Cecilia (city councilor Cecilia Bladh, red note) in Hörby who have prominent roles in their municipalities, so i dont see the problem.
… that many call it populist:
– It is one of the kindest things that have called me over the years. I don’t take it the wrong way. It is a question of definition, and the way of the left to name those who think differently. But they are the ones who propose simple solutions, they are the populists. I’ve felt the same way all the time.
