The Green Party begins its election tour with a press conference where it presents the party's election manifesto and priority policies.

The focus is on a "just transition" with three keywords: climate, equality and nature.

We will get rid of fossil fuel dependence and make sustainable alternatives cheaper, says Lind.

This includes upgrading the railways "so that trains run on time", ensuring that "everyone can afford to switch to an electric car" and expanding charging infrastructure in what Lind describes as the party's "electric car offensive".

With the Tidö parties at the wheel, we can see that we have become increasingly off course, says Lind.

She accuses the four parties of increasing both emissions and the gaps in society.

The gaps will also decrease if the Green Party is allowed to decide, says spokesman Daniel Helldén.

Those with the greatest financial resources should also take greater responsibility. That is why the Green Party wants to introduce a tax for the super-rich, he says.
