V stands firm, demands ministerial posts

The Left Party does not intend to back down from its demand to sit in government in the next term, says deputy party leader Ida Gabrielsson.

"We will only allow a government that we are part of," she says.

The answer comes after Center Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist's statement that C never intends to accept the Left Party in a government.

It is worrying. The Center's announcement risks leading to four more years of a right-wing nationalist government, says Gabrielsson.

V could consider forming a majority government with all opposition parties, including C. According to V, there are only two possible government alternatives, and if C does not accept this, Sweden will head towards new elections, Gabrielsson says.

It is a question for the C-management to decide whether it is worth it and what they think would change with another election.
