V presents one of its priorities if it is allowed to negotiate government formation after the election.
It's about a new national housing policy to lower rents. The goal, according to V, is to build 20,000 new "cheap" rental apartments a year that will suit low- and middle-income earners.
Today we have a situation where there are empty apartments; a three-room apartment can cost 20,000 kronor. The rents are far too high, says Dadgostar.
No red line
V wants the state to take greater responsibility for housing construction by, among other things, identifying areas with a housing shortage, regulating the cost of land, and having the rent determined in advance based on local conditions and households' ability to pay.
However, Dadgostar does not want to say that a new national housing policy is an absolute demand from V in any possible negotiations with the Social Democrats.
This is an important issue, and we will work hard to change Swedish housing policy, which has been a complete failure for many years.
Can become a minister
The Left Party leader has herself worked on the issue for a long time at both the municipal and national levels and has been the government's special investigator for increased housing construction.
"This is an issue that is close to my heart," she says.
The next housing minister, who is currently Andreas Carlson (KD), needs to be much more active, she believes. It would have been better with a left-winger in the post, but she doesn't want to answer whether she herself aspires to it.
We'll see after the election who it will be, but a new left-wing government will need to introduce a new national housing policy.
It will be a much heavier post in a new left-wing government.
Part of the proposal is that housing construction should not be based on the land price, but on the starting rent that low- and middle-income earners can pay.
According to the V proposal, the rent should be determined in advance based on "local conditions" and land costs adjusted accordingly. The state should compensate the municipalities for lost revenue.
The idea is then that companies that want to can bid on the construction project.
V also wants the state to take overall responsibility for housing planning and review housing needs every year.
The Left Party also proposes that construction companies should have access to government credit guarantees to finance their construction projects.
According to V, the proposals are possible because the EU has relaxed its state aid rules for national housing construction.
