The debate program "Fördrink" was scheduled for Wednesday, but according to the radio station, it will now look for a new date.

The uncertainty means that, from a purely journalistic perspective, we do not see a possibility of carrying out this broadcast, project manager Martin Runnqvist Nilsson told Ekot.

Several of the party leaders are prevented from participating after the brawl in the Riksdag, which Expressen was first to report. All members of parliament must now be present during the votes, which begin on Wednesday at the same time as the debate.

Among the party leaders who declined were KD leader Ebba Busch, who had previously cited calendar reasons, Centre Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).
