Liberals and Christian Democrats reverse course, want to invest more in student unions

According to a report in May, the government's cuts to student unions have led to the disappearance of 8,000 activities for young people between 2023 and 2025. But now the Liberals and Christian Democrats are changing their stance on the issue, reports SVT Kulturnyheterna.

The historic cuts to popular education, under which the Tidö parties have reduced support for student unions by 500 million kronor over the past three years, have led to several reports of a shortage of rehearsal rooms.

Now the Liberals and the Christian Democrats say they want to invest more money in student unions in the future. At present, all parties except the Sweden Democrats and the Moderates want to invest more in popular education and student unions.

We want to make a greater investment in popular education during the next term of office, says Malin Danielsson, the Liberal Party's spokesperson on cultural policy, to SVT.
