Busch says that the parties across the block boundary are close to each other in the energy issue, closer than in a long time. But no formal agreement has yet been reached and now the negotiations are being concluded.
The talks have been constructive, there is more consensus now, she says.
Shares symmetry
The opposition has long demanded that the government changes its view on offshore wind power and wants it to receive state support, like nuclear power receives support.
Now Busch opens up to it.
We have had a breakthrough in central issues concerning nuclear power and concerning the view of possible symmetry for offshore wind power and nuclear power.
She refuses to say if all Tidö parties are behind that view.
Several parties share that symmetry, says Ebba Busch.
That the Sweden Democrats do not like wind power is generally known.
This is an issue that needs to be discussed further, but I can note that there is a broad majority in the Swedish Riksdag to treat the power types from a technologically neutral perspective, that is, that there should be support measures that pave the way for new energy, says Busch.
Are you willing to make a deal across the block boundary?
Yes, and that has been my wish, and had we not just had a year left until the election, we might have been in such a sharp situation.
Are you willing to break the Tidö agreement on this issue?
If I am willing to break my government, no, but I have not perceived that there is a need for it.
S's conditions
The Social Democrats have in turn opened up to financial state support for nuclear power, but set as a condition that wind power should also receive it.
Now Busch hopes that all parties in their autumn budgets clearly state where they stand somewhere in the energy issue to achieve majorities in the Riksdag.
