Neither Löfven nor Sabuni are ready to give up yet

Someone has to back off: Nyamko Sabuni or Stefan Löfven.
Otherwise, the government falls.
It can end with new elections.
I have a hard time believing that the Swedish people believe that it is time for a new election. That the country is betting on a decisive road choice that can only be resolved by an additional election just over a year before the ordinary elections.
What is it really about It’s that liberals have terrible opinion figures. They have been parked under the crucial 4% barrier for several years and there is no clearing in sight.
Nothing worries a party as much as a failed support, especially when the threat of being expelled from the Riksdag is imminent.

Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.
This has led the liberals President Nyamko Sabuni a couple of weeks ago made an almost incomprehensible proposal.
He said the January agreement would be broken if the government and the Center did not change. They must move away from a marginal proposal in future immigration policy that is currently pending consultation. Please note that it is available for consultation. It has not yet been put on the Riksdag table.
The January agreement is the basis as the government is based. Cooperation between the government, that is, the Social Democrats and the MP, the Center Party and the Liberals, was a prerequisite for the Riksdag to vote for Stefan Löfven as Prime Minister in January 2019, after 134 days of chaos.
If the agreement is broken, the government will fall. After long presidential rounds, a new one may be formed, probably with Stefan Löfven as prime minister again. Or there will be new elections.

Nyamko Sabuni, leader of the Liberals party.
Stefan Löfven thinks to The migration proposal that is causing Nyamko Sabuni to erupt in anger is no big deal, and you can agree with him on that.
He also believes that Nyamko Sabuni should “reflect.” You can also agree with him on that.
Löfven has also shot the the obvious conclusion that if the January agreement is broken, the government will fall and become a transitional government. Have we been through it before? It was fun? It felt good?
This in turn leads to new, probably lengthy rounds for the president in distress. And if it does not reach an extra election. The regular election will be held on September 11 of next year.
Stefan Löfven’s attitude seems therefore reasonable. But at present the situation is so blocked that he or Nyamko Sabuni have to back down; otherwise, there will be a crisis of government, coffee and cake with the president and perhaps new elections.
Nyamko Sabuni has already backed down. The migration policy is, with some exceptions, outside the January agreement.
That’s why she said from the start to the Proposals on which the government and the Center Party would agree would give so many more opportunities to stay in Sweden that the budget, the basis of the January agreement, would suffer. Therefore, she and the Liberals were able to break the agreement even though it is about migration.
Recently, Sabuni has no longer raised the money. Now the liberals’ objections, or at least theirs, refer to the proposal itself.
Paragraphs 65, 66 and 67 Of the 73 points that, in addition to the state budget, the January agreement between the government covers, C and L, are on migration.
The first two points say that a new immigration policy will replace the temporary legislation that expires at the end of this year and will be investigated by all parties to the Riksdag. And if, alternatively, you need protection, that is, not refugees.
According to the third point, the parties are “He agreed to seek a new humanitarian safeguard in the parliamentary committee” (which ended in a major disagreement over future immigration policy, editor’s note). The investigation was completed this summer.
That’s what the fight is about. S, MP and C want a small valve to allow some to stay even if they have no reason to apply for asylum. They are called “particularly painful cases” with a strong connection to Sweden, for example teenagers who have been reunited with their families, but must be deported when they turn 18.
The mockery deal The Liberals closed between the other three parties in the coalition after the investigation was completed.
Is this such a major problem that the government will be forced to resign amid a fiery pandemic? Sabuni thinks so, no one else seems to agree.
But now it is as it is. And someone must back off. Be it Nyamko Sabuni or Stefan Löfven. Otherwise, the government falls.
In favor of Löfven speaks that makes a coherent reasoning that can be understood.
That is to Sabuni’s disadvantage that she hardly, or not at all, manages to explain what it is about. What is so important for the country to plunge into a crisis of government, besides the opinion figures of the liberals? Unanswered.
However, it is clear that this whole crisis is turning into a piano that is played by itself. Then it can end anyway.
