Mohamsson is giving a speech at the Liberal Party's municipal days, the party's national convention, in Karlstad. This is against the backdrop of opinion polls well below the parliamentary threshold and a split within the party over the Sweden Democrats' views.

This is a kind of kick-off for the election campaign, she said, trying to get the members excited.

Mohamsson begins by talking about Swedish schools and describes how they are in the bottom tier of the EU when it comes to classroom discipline.

We will ask the Swedish people for continued trust to lead the transition to a center-right school policy, to bring order to every classroom, she said.

Ceiling on number of students

L wants classrooms of "reasonable" size, and has previously mentioned 25 students as a ceiling that existed before schools were municipalized in the 1990s.

Today I therefore want to present a new election promise. The Liberals want to see remedial classes in every school for students who disrupt teaching, Mohamsson said, comparing it to the "obs classes" of the old days.

The classes would have around ten students each, and to staff them about 2,000 special or otherwise specially trained teachers would be needed, which the party says would cost two billion a year. However, L does not want to promise extra money to municipalities, instead pointing out that municipalities should use their surpluses.

They can probably cover that.

She opposes the idea that "help classes" would single out or stigmatize children.

"The attention classes were not perfect, but the idea was good," said Minister for Upper Secondary and Higher Education Lotta Edholm (L).

Mohamsson promises that with L's policy, happiness ratings will also disappear and school libraries will receive more books.

The school will also be beautiful again. Away from ugly barracks to real temples of knowledge that give you goosebumps just looking at them.

Met with laughter

In her speech, she then touches on the collaboration with the SD, with whom the party wants to form a government after the election this fall. L has put "responsibility before distancing," according to Mohamsson.

There is only one responsible conclusion to draw: Freedom needs the blue-yellow collaboration for four more years.

The Tidö collaboration is facing a "dangerous left turn", according to the party leader, who describes the Red-Greens as a "dysfunctional group effort" in school, which drew laughter in the congress hall.

Let's not give them the keys to Rosenbad this fall. Because in hindsight, our cooperation is best for Sweden.
