If you genuinely think that climate is an important issue, and don't want to see a socialist prime minister and finance minister, then you should vote for Simona, Åkesson said during Sveriges Radio's party leaders' debate, when the climate was being discussed.
She has fought for this, and I have fought back, he continued.
A statement from the Green Party's spokesperson Daniel Helldén.
It is clear that the SD and the Liberals are now joining forces and will simply continue to drive climate policy to the bottom. If there is one thing we know, it is that Jimmie Åkesson does not want to do anything sensible with climate policy.
Jimmie Åkesson has previously said that voting for the Liberals is a wasted vote if the party does not reach 3.5 percent in opinion polls with ten days left until the election.
Accusations of defamation
That deadline expired on Thursday. By then, the Liberals had risen to around 3 percent in some polls, and Jimmie Åkesson has since toned down his ultimatum somewhat. The Moderates have also begun urging “bourgeois-minded voters” to vote for the Liberals instead of the Centre Party.
If the party falls short, it will be very difficult for the other Tidö parties to form a government.
If you want the blue-yellow collaboration for another four years, all four parties are needed, and it's a good thing that everyone on our side is aware of that, says Simona Mohamsson after the debate.
During the debate, the Tidö bloc accused Magdalena Andersson of slandering both the Swedish economy and climate policy.
The Social Democrats are so eager to speak ill of the Swedish economy, said Prime Minister and Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson, later returning to describe it as "a rumour."
“Busy”
This is because Andersson, among other things, raised the Swedish deficit and that unemployment has increased during Kristersson's term in office.
We need an economy with growth, where jobs are more, not fewer.
Even though it's hard for Ulf Kristersson, this is the result after four years with the Tidö parties, she said.
Andersson and Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist claim that the Tidö government's climate policy, including through action in the EU, has worsened the conditions for Swedish green industry.
While Kristersson says that Sweden is best in class in terms of climate policy and emission levels in the EU.
"Sometimes I have the feeling that you want things to go badly, so you can complain," he said of the opposition.
