The Left Party called a press conference on Thursday with just under half an hour's notice.
The current state of the government formation process is that Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson has said she wants to see a government comprising the Social Democrats, Centre Party and Green Party, without the Left Party.
At the same time, Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist announced on Friday that she was now negotiating in parallel with both the Social Democrats and the Left Party.
It was a surprise to us that there was a change in the process, says Dadgostar at the press conference.
The Centre Party has removed its red lines against the Sweden Democrats, she continues.
On Wednesday, the red-green parties - the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party - met at the Match Palace in central Stockholm. Magdalena Andersson said the talks had gone well and believed Speaker Andreas Norlén should give the red-green parties more time before the third vote on the prime minister, "an extra one to two weeks".
Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar said at the same time that there was no new information regarding the party's demand to be allowed to join a government.
Right now, Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson has been tasked by the speaker with exploring the possibility of forming a new government. He will report on how things have gone next Tuesday. To be elected, he must win over the Centre Party.
On Friday, the Social Democratic and Moderate Party leaders will submit their respective proposals, "total packages", to the Centre Party.
Should the Centre Party choose to proceed with Magdalena Andersson's package, we are of course ready to negotiate further to form a government, says Dadgostar.
