The Green Party is going to the election with a political package the party calls “folkel.” MPs want, among other things, to see new tax breaks on renewable electricity and for every parking space to be a charging point.
Swedish politicsThe Green Party wants to be part of a new government after the election, with a focus on the climate. According to spokesperson Amanda Lind, no other parties have a climate policy worth the name. It is obvious that we are needed, she says.
Swedish politicsThe Green Party's spokesman, Daniel Helldén, promises a systemic change in rail policy. The Swedish people want to travel by train, and they want the trains to run on time. Politics will deliver that, he says in his speech on the Almedal stage.
SwedenThe Green Party has launched its election slogan, which reads: "Sweden wins with green politics."
Swedish politicsThe Green Party wants to repeal several of the Tidö parties' stricter laws on migration and justice if the red-greens win the election. One example is the law allowing 13-year-olds to be imprisoned. "It goes without saying that we will push for this to be repealed," says spokesman Daniel Helldén.
Swedish politicsThe Social Democrats' party secretary Tobias Baudin, commenting on the re-election of Liberal Party leader Simona Mohamsson, said that the likelihood of SD leader Jimmie Åkesson becoming prime minister "has increased significantly." Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) welcomed the news and wrote in a debate article that it "could facilitate the formation of my next government."
Swedish politicsThe Green Party will not accept a solely Social Democratic government. The party is prepared to bring down Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson if it is not part of her government, spokesman Daniel Helldén tells SvD.
