”The Social Democratic Party remains a party that is soft on crime and the left wing is moving further to the left regarding immigration – already before the Green Party, the Left Party and the Centre Party have had their say”, he in a comment after the Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson’s congress speech.

Among other things, the Social Democratic Party has at its ongoing congress in Gothenburg decided that it wants to abolish the deduction for sick leave, shorten normal working hours and increase capital taxes.

The Social Democratic Party is, according to Kristersson, making the biggest left turn since the wage earner funds era.

"It is a dangerous left turn. It would make our country both poorer and more dangerous”, he writes.
