Ida Gabrielsson: Left Party Will Not Back Down on Demand to Join Government

The Left Party will not back down from its demand to join a red-green government, the party’s vice chairwoman, Ida Gabrielsson, says on X.

Trying to get the Left Party to back down on the government issue is “a complete waste of time,” according to Gabrielsson.

“That door is completely closed,” she writes.

To reach a solution, the Center Party needs to consider whether anything else could make cooperation with the red-green parties attractive, she further emphasizes.

“The Left Party will not back down on the government issue, but we are of course willing to discuss everything else,” she writes.

Asked in the comments on the X post whether the Left Party will vote against Magdalena Andersson (S) in a fourth prime ministerial vote, thereby accepting an extra election, Gabrielsson answers: “Yes, we vote red in all votes where we are not part of the government.”
