Busch claims, however, that the parties, across the bloc boundary, are close to each other in the energy issue, closer than in a long time. A breakthrough has been made, according to her.
The discussions have been constructive, there is more consensus now, says Busch.
She claims that there is broad agreement on cogeneration, hydro power, 100 percent fossil-free, nuclear power and "symmetry between support systems for offshore wind power and nuclear power".
– There are all possibilities during the autumn to show this consensus in actions and votes (in the parliament).
Busch "constructive"
S-leader Magdalena Andersson and the Social Democrats' energy policy spokesperson Fredrik Olovsson say that the discussions have been good and that Ebba Busch has been "very constructive".
– It should be possible to agree, says Magdalena Andersson.
But they are disappointed that they have not received any response to a number of proposals that the party submitted to the government a month ago.
I have difficulty drawing any other conclusion than that the Tidö parties are not in agreement on the issue, says the S-leader, but adds that she is ready to resume the discussions.
My door is open, my hand is outstretched and my phone is on.
According to what TT learns, the government and SD are planning a press conference on Friday, about nuclear power and authorizations for it in the budget bill for next year. Ebba Busch says that the budget must include a pot of money that can be used to get the first part of the nuclear power program started.
– You have to know how much money there is to negotiate about, says Busch.
Busch opens up for wind
S and the rest of the opposition have long demanded that the government change its mind and open up for state support for offshore wind power, just like the new nuclear power will be offered.
Now Busch does. But she does not have SD with her.
– Of course, I will protect the government's base, but there are a lot of people in southern Sweden who want us to produce more power before all nuclear power.
That the Sweden Democrats do not like wind power is known. The energy policy spokesperson Tobias Andersson writes in a text message to TT that SD has not changed its mind. Offshore wind power cannot contribute to the energy system in the same way as nuclear power, is the SD line.
”For us, it has been important not to slow down the nuclear power program by getting stuck in lengthy negotiations with those who have shut down nuclear power in Sweden and who have still not landed definitively on issues regarding new nuclear power”, writes Tobias Andersson.
Busch says that different decisions on energy can be voted through in the parliament ahead with different majorities.
– I want to do what is good for Sweden.
