Moderates take back historic Riksdag meeting hall from Sweden Democrats

The Moderates will once again hold their group meetings in the historic first chamber of the Riksdag. That is where the SD sat during the previous term.

The new distribution of seats in the Riksdag has meant that some parties have grown while others have shrunk.

SD lost eleven seats in the election and ended up with 62, while the Moderates increased by two seats to 70 seats. This means that the Moderates will take back the first chamber in the eastern house of the Riksdag, Riksdag Director Ingvar Mattson tells TT. The party will hold its group meetings there.

SD will move into another meeting room in Ledamotshuset, which SVT was the first to report.
