Sweden Democrats want the post of Minister of Culture

The Sweden Democrats should be given the post of minister of culture if the Tidö parties win the election this fall. This is what the party's cultural policy spokesperson, Alexander Christiansson, told Magasin K.

Christiansson emphasizes that the issue has not been up for discussion.

But I can agree with that as the cultural policy spokesperson. I think cultural issues are super important for the nation. That's what makes Sweden Sweden.

Christiansson, with a background as a manager of his father's Christian hard rock band, shifted small-business issues to culture after a call from party leader Jimmie Åkesson.

He says that SD wants to spend more, not less, on culture and will "always" prioritize cultural heritage over contemporary culture when resources are allocated.

If I were to become minister of culture, one of the first things I would do is investigate the cultural heritage debt.
