The Social Democrats want to allocate 1.7 billion kronor more to culture and sports in their shadow budget than the budget presented by the Tidö Agreement, according to Sveriges Radio's "Cultural News".

According to Lawen Redar, cultural policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats, a powerful cultural initiative can be financed by not accepting the tax cuts for high-income earners that the government wants to implement.

Fees for children's and young people's leisure activities are increasing, study associations' premises are being forced to close in large parts of the country, and regional cultural institutions are finding it increasingly difficult to offer a broad and inclusive range of activities, says Redar to SR.

The Social Democrats want, among other things, to reintroduce free admission to state museums and allocate more money to regional cultural initiatives and cultural schools. Furthermore, they want to invest 350 million kronor more than the government in study associations.
