Sweden’s Left Party Stands Firm on Demand to Join Government

The Center Party has decided to move forward with the full package presented by Magdalena Andersson (S), excluding the Green Party from the government.

“The proposal Magdalena Andersson is presenting is a government comprising the Center Party, the Social Democrats and the Green Party, with the Left Party as a partner,” C leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist tells Ekot.

Gabrielsson, who is appearing on SVT’s Agenda tonight, welcomes the announcement but reiterates her party’s demand to be in government.

“I am of course happy that the Center Party remains on the red-green side,” she tells SVT.

“The announcement that we will be part of the government stands.”
