"Time to consider the euro question"

Support for the euro is increasing. But another referendum is not on the agenda right now, several parties believe. However, the Moderates are not closing the door. We will have to return to that question, says party secretary Karin Enström.

Support for the euro is increasing. However, a new referendum is not currently on the agenda, according to several parties.

But the Moderates are not closing the door.

We will revisit the issue, says party secretary Karin Enström.

Both the Left Party and the Green Party believe that the arguments against introducing the euro in Sweden remain strong.

The Social Democrats welcome a discussion, but believe it must be broadened to more than just the exchange rate. A referendum is not currently on the agenda:

But if there is to be any change, the Swedish people must be involved in the process and the decision, says the Social Democrats' party secretary Tobias Baudin.

The Sweden Democrats believe that support for the euro is fluctuating.

We have already held a referendum and it was a clear no, and there is currently no support in parliament for a referendum, says party secretary Mattias Bäckström Johansson.

The Moderates believe that the increased support for the euro shows that Swedes have "a slightly greater appetite than before". According to party secretary Karin Enström, the party is willing to examine the issue, including its advantages and disadvantages.

It's been a long time since we examined the issue. It may be time to start looking at it, she says.

Will a referendum be required?

It's far too early to answer that. We will revisit the issue, she says.

According to the Liberals, who are in favour of Sweden introducing the euro, the question of whether a referendum is needed will be examined.

We will certainly take a closer look at that, but it's clear that opinion is now shifting and that even many prominent figures are in favour of euro cooperation, says party secretary Jakob Olofsgård.
