Nooshi Dadgostar, 35, is the big favorite to take over as leader in V after Jonas Sjöstedt.
She defends her threat to overthrow the government if she makes firm proposals on market rents and changes the labor law.
– Yes of course. This is a promise that we have told the Prime Minister several times, he said in the SVT Agenda.
The threat of the Left Party to overthrow Stefan Löfven does not go away with Jonas Sjöstedt.
The successor will be elected at the digital congress in just over a month. By all accounts, Deputy Party Leader Nooshi Dadgostar is currently the only candidate to take office.
On Sunday night, she was interviewed on the SVT Agenda and stuck to the party’s red lines: Market Rents and Changes in Labor Law. Both are part of the January agreement and are fundamental issues for the Center Party.
– So we have said and promised that there is no longer tolerance for this Prime Minister. We said that almost two years ago, it is not news to the government. If they come up with such a proposal, they provoke mistrust directed at the Prime Minister, Nooshi Dadgostar said.

Nooshi Dagostar was interviewed on SVT Agenda on Sunday night.
If the government is eliminated, what is gained then? asked host Anders Holmberg.
– The Prime Minister will probably withdraw this proposal. It is not reasonable to run over the very base of government in this way. I don’t think I’m talented enough to do that.
You have to correct yourself
Nooshi Dadgostar immediately had to correct himself.
– Sorry, no government documents. But we have tolerated the Prime Minister with two very clear promises. We cannot accept a sudden increase in people’s rents and a deterioration in job security as much as we want.
Nooshi Dadgostar was thus an almost literal echo of what Jonas Sjöstedt has said in recent years about the threat of overthrowing the government together with M, KD and SD.

“S has lost faith”
Later in the interview, he was asked what the Left Party should do to win back workers’ voters.
– We need to be self-critical. In places where we have historically been very strong, the red greens have largely lost support. There is great disappointment because it is getting worse year after year. Not everyone benefits from economic growth. The Social Democrats and the right-wing parties have somehow lost faith that anything can be done about it.
He said that the Left Party should focus on the main economic problems and formulated a new position for the party in Swedish politics.
– Historically, in the shadow of the Social Democrats, we could have been the small force on the left that has pushed the Social Democrats to the left and perhaps to the right. That role can no longer be played. We need to step forward now, in a new arena, and assume much greater political responsibility in major social projects.
