Swedish government allies push back on PM's election pact with Sweden Democrats
"It is stupid to stamp it before you have even negotiated policy, a central source said, according to Swedish news agency TT. The irritation of both parties comes in the wake of Kristersson's comments regarding the Sweden Democrats' potential ministerial posts."
"While Kristersson did not explicitly state that the controversial party would get that particular ministerial post, that was how everyone interpreted the announcement, according to several sources that TT spoke to."
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's announcement regarding the Sweden Democrats has led to irritation among the Christian Democrats and Liberals. He suggested that if the right-wing coalition wins the election, the Sweden Democrats would receive significant ministerial roles, particularly in immigration and integration. While both parties support the inclusion of the Sweden Democrats in government, they are concerned about Kristersson's premature commitments. Negotiations have involved the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Christian Democrats, and Liberals, but the latter two declined to attend a press conference with Akesson.
