The Left Party has a tailwind in opinion polls and is above 8 percent, clearly above its 2022 election result.
Dadgostar's tactic has been to portray V as the guarantor that a possible S-led government will not pursue right-wing policies. This also applied to Saturday's speech on Södermalm in Stockholm.
"Now we are making sure to push politics to the left. The bigger we get, the more we can push government policy to the left," she says.
Bad company
The "bad company" that Dadgostar warns about is Andersson, as a potential new prime minister, choosing to try to cooperate with the Center Party or the Christian Democrats to gain a majority in the Riksdag.
"Protect us from continued right-wing politics, where the Center Party is given free rein to sell out our common welfare and reduce job security," says the V leader.
She jokes about Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson's warning of the biggest left turn since the 1970s.
"We are ready for the dangerous left turn!"
Dadgostar promises in her speech that V will shorten working hours while maintaining salary during the next term.
"Travel to do"
In the speech, the V leader also promises to increase student grants, eliminate the housing shortage for young people, make the temporary reduction in public transport fares permanent, abolish the waiting period deduction, make dental care free of charge and freeze rents.
In order for a new S-led government to receive V's support, V is demanding ministerial posts. But Magdalena Andersson believes that V "has a journey to make" before that can be the case.
The S leader is referring, among other things, to the letters of support that left-wing members of parliament have written to Palestinians convicted of terrorism.
When asked what V should do to be ready to sit in a government, Andersson tells TT:
"I discuss this directly with them and not through the media."
Andersson thinks V is drawing too many red lines for cooperation.
"If you want to be absolutely sure that I will become prime minister and lead the country in a new direction, then you should vote for S," she says.
