MP wants Sweden to meet its climate goals by 2030. This requires both a greater mix of biofuels and higher fuel taxes, according to the government's investigators.
"Partly we want the temporary tax cuts to disappear, partly it's the inclusion of renewables in the idea," says Amanda Lind in SVT.
Removing the tax cuts would mean the price rises by four kronor per litre, and the increased blending by another two, according to the party's calculations. In total, that comes to six kronor.
"We don't see this as something that will happen overnight, but in a controlled manner," says Lind.
She emphasizes that the increases should be combined with "a green bonus."
"So support for people who live in rural and sparsely populated areas, and people with lower incomes even in cities, so that they can be compensated for this."
Amanda Lind emphasizes that fuel will become more expensive this fall regardless of what politicians do, since the government's tax cuts are temporary.
"This is something that all parties are shying away from today."
