Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party, unlike most other parties on the red-green side, had not campaigned primarily with the message of saying no to the Sweden Democrats (SD). According to her, the party had not repeatedly talked about an SD government, presented proposals for twelve SD ministers whom she described as more or less uncouth, or warned that Jimmie Åkesson could become prime minister. She wrote that the Left Party also believed that SD was wrong, but that voters needed to know what policies they were voting for. Gabrielsson thought that the negative campaigns and the political representatives' approach to each other had made it confusing to distinguish between SD and the other Tidö parties. She emphasized that the rhetoric had come from, among others, Ebba Busch, Simona Mohamsson, and moderate ministers, and that the politics had been presented jointly. According to Gabrielsson, the Left Party had therefore primarily focused on the policies it wanted to change. A campaign solely against SD risked, she wrote, appearing to target a group of people and giving someone the opportunity to adopt a victim role. She also believed it was contradictory to claim to be able to collaborate with everyone except SD, or preferably with the Tidö parties without SD, while campaigning on a different policy. Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party had campaigned on its own policies and with Magdalena Andersson as a candidate for prime minister, well anchored in the red-green side. Therefore, according to her, the Left Party should not have to settle for having achieved a no to SD. #politik #Val2024 #rödgröna (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)
Sweden's position is the same as it has been since February 24, 2022: We stand by Ukraine as long as it is necessary. Now the pressure on Russia must increase and support for Ukraine must be further strengthened. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) says he regrets US President Donald Trump's deal with Russia regarding diesel deliveries. #Ukraina #Trump #Ryssland (translated)
Ulf Kristersson wrote that Sweden had stood by Ukraine's side since February 24, 2022, and would continue to do so as long as it was necessary. He called for increased pressure on Russia and stronger support for Ukraine. Kristersson lamented the U.S. agreement with Russia regarding diesel supplies and stated that energy revenues were central to the Russian war chest. He indicated that the EU would on Monday adopt its most comprehensive sanctions package to date, with 1,600 sanctions listings targeting the Russian military-industrial complex. He urged more countries to counter the Russian shadow fleet and eventually use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. He also emphasized the need for close coordination within the EU and with the U.S., the U.K., and other international partners. According to Kristersson, the broad political support and public engagement for Ukraine in Sweden were a strength, and Ukraine's freedom and sovereignty remained Sweden's top foreign policy priority. #Ukraina #Sverige #Ryssland (translated)

Ramona Fransson wrote that the Sweden Democrats would stand on the side of working citizens, families, the elderly, children, the vulnerable, and small business owners, as well as protect Sweden and the Swedes. She stated that the party would initiate extensive work with "the Sweden Democrats after Tidö" in preparation for the national days next autumn, laying the groundwork for the next step and being ready for a new election no later than in four years. https://t.co/JlGrZA3NMp #Sverigedemokraterna #svenskpolitik #framtid (translated)

Edward Blom criticized Svenska Dagbladet's news article by Oskar Carlsson, which he believed was biased and took the side of the French rioters. According to Blom, the article focused on one of them being injured and described him as a boy, even though he was 15 years old, while showing a picture of demonstrators fleeing from police tear gas. Blom claimed that the article did not depict violence against teachers and emergency services. He cited using flamethrowers against someone's face, burning fire trucks, and kicking lying police officers as examples of actions he considered to be riots and terrorism, not demonstrations. #Sverige #Nyheter #Terrorism (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding Thand Ringqvist's argument on Agenda that the Left Party and the Center Party were far apart. She claimed that the Center Party was not particularly close to any of the other parties with Magdalena Andersson as the prime ministerial candidate in economic policy. According to Gabrielsson, the Center Party had chosen the same prime ministerial candidate as the red-green parties to avoid governing with the Sweden Democrats, but the choice also meant that the party would have less influence on its bourgeois economic policy. Gabrielsson wrote that she did not want to decide which side the Center Party should choose, but felt that the party should have thought through the consequences before going to the election on Andersson. She argued that the Center Party's actions risked blocking both possible government alternatives. Since the election result, according to her, meant that the four parties' mandates were needed to choose Andersson as prime minister, she believed that the parties had to compromise. She emphasized that the business community had not voted and that each voter had had a vote. She also wrote that most red-green voters wanted to see a government with the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party, while the voters of the Tidö parties had other favorites. According to Gabrielsson, parties should not negotiate with mandates from voters who had voted for another government alternative, and she believed that the election result must be reflected in politics. The Left Party wanted to be part of the government, according to her, to be able to implement reforms and agreements. Gabrielsson wrote that it was difficult to understand why the Center Party opposed the Left Party in the government and claimed that the Center Party's content in a possible agreement should be respected on the same terms. #politiksverige #val2023 #demokrati (translated)
Niklas Svensson wrote that Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist had said several times in tonight's Agenda that she was in talks with all the parties in the middle, including the Moderates and the Christian Democrats. He wondered why she did not receive follow-up questions about the conversations, who she was speaking with on "the other side," and whether seminars would also be held there. #politik #partier #journalistik (translated)
Miffen asked people on the left about whether they really thought it felt good when young people were subjected to humiliating robberies, assaults, gang rapes, shootings, and explosions. He also questioned that the focus, according to him, was on protecting the perpetrators rather than providing justice for the victims. #politik #brott #ungdomar (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she found it strange that people on the right seemed to oppose C's choice of side. According to her, no one benefited from the party remaining ambiguous, and after more than eight years, C should determine where it stood, regardless of whether it was right or left. She argued that having two clear blocks before the next election would make it easier for voters to take a stance, instead of parties referring to their own possible constellations. #politik #val2024 #partipolitik (translated)
