Left Party claims Magdalena Andersson is open to four-party government, Social Democrats deny it

According to deputy party leader Ida Gabrielsson, Andersson has said in internal talks that she is open to this.

“In the room, she has clearly said that she can govern with us,” Gabrielsson said at a press conference.

“She has said that she can govern with all four of our parties.”

Gabrielsson has previously commented on the same issue on X, saying the talks focused on what would be needed for the Centre Party to accept the Left Party while maintaining its bourgeois identity.

Magdalena Andersson announced on Sunday that she wants to form a government consisting of the Social Democrats, the Centre Party and the Green Party - without the Left Party.

The Social Democrats deny Ida Gabrielsson’s statement.

“We have not offered a four-party government. We have not proposed that the Left Party should sit in a government. What was said on Sunday still applies,” a senior Social Democrat source tells TT.
