A week ago, Center Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist called a press conference to announce that she wanted a “total package” from M-leader Ulf Kristersson and S-leader Magdalena Andersson.

According to Thand Ringqvist’s terms, the packages should include both policy proposals and proposals for how M and S can keep the Sweden Democrats and the Left Party out of government. The deadline for responses is today at 5 p.m.

In a social media post, S-leader Magdalena Andersson says that S will submit a proposal this afternoon on how “we should be able to take this process further.”

“This week I have had many long conversations and negotiations with the Left Party, the Center Party and the Green Party, with the aim of forming a government,” she says in a video clip.

The Center Party has announced that it does not plan to comment on the packages on Friday, but probably not until next week. The party will use the weekend for further internal discussions.
