"Once again, Magdalena Andersson shows true social democracy: putting her own interests before Sweden's," writes Malmer Stenergard on X.

She emphasizes that all parties in parliament agree that Europe needs to take greater responsibility for its own security. The dialogue with France on deterrence involving French nuclear weapons is a way of building security in practice, she says.

"It is obvious that V and MP control the Social Democrats' security policy, not Sweden's interests," writes the Foreign Minister.

In a written comment, the S leader now responds to the criticism:

"We live in a volatile and dangerous world that is changing rapidly. I am surprised that the government is now running an election campaign on an issue that is so crucial to Sweden's security. Our position is the same as before," writes Magdalena Andersson.

She adds that Sweden's security comes first, that cooperation in the Nordic countries and within NATO is "of the utmost importance" and that Sweden will not accept any nuclear weapons on Swedish soil.

"I am surprised that the government is seeking conflict over this. We have shared information with each other, but we have not reached an agreement," Andersson writes.
