Strong or Right-Wing? This is What the Swedes Say in the EU

In Wednesday's vote in the EU Parliament, M, KD, C, L, and S were on the yes side.

We have extremist parties on both the left and right that do not want a strong Europe, and that is reflected to some extent in this result. But we get a very strong commission, says Tomas Tobé (M).

We have incredibly large challenges ahead of us. I am far from satisfied, but the most important thing now is that a commission is put in place, says Emma Wiesner (C).

Now it's up to the newly elected commission and not least the largest party group, the moderate conservative, to live up to the agreement we have on broad cooperation in the center, says Heléne Fritzon (S).

The Green Party chose to abstain from voting.

This is a sad choice that has been preceded by an inadequate process. EU voters deserve transparency, says Alice Bah Kuhnke (MP).

V and SD were on the no side.

This is the most right-wing commission we have ever seen, says Jonas Sjöstedt (V).

The Moderate Party's and KD's party group must stop flirting with the social democratic party group, says Charlie Weimers (SD).
