The Sweden Democrats’ executive committee is set to meet next week to discuss whether the party should drop its demand for ministerial posts in order to win over the Center Party to the Tidö side. The party will also back down on the immigration issue. Frihetsnytt predicted this as early as September 15.
The Sweden Democrats are seriously considering dropping their demand for ministerial posts, according to information provided to Aftonbladet. The party’s executive committee is set to meet in the middle of next week to discuss the government issue. On the table is the possibility of backing down from the demand that the party has long described as non-negotiable, in order to persuade the Center Party to agree to support the Tidö faction.
The idea that the SD would drop its demand for ministerial posts has been dismissed by many within the party, but Tor-Björn Richthoff Änglasjö had already predicted on September 15 that this would happen, as can be seen in a news analysis HERE.
Henrik Vinge is leading the effort
A rapprochement between the Sweden Democrats and the Center Party is reported to have taken place. Several sources say that the Tidö parties’ attempts to win over the Center Party have taken on new, significantly more concrete forms. Meetings are said to have been held at various levels, with Moderates and representatives from the business community facilitating these contacts.
SD leadership Henrik Vinge will play a central role in the work. Jimmie Åkesson and Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist The meeting took place as part of her exploratory mission. However, the Center Party denies that any other meetings took place.
The Executive Committee meeting is scheduled to take place after Tuesday’s vote on Thand Ringqvist as prime minister. All signs point to her being voted down. Afterward, the Speaker is expected to assign the exploratory mandate to Ulf Kristersson. One plan being discussed is for the Sweden Democrats to abstain when the Riksdag eventually votes on Kristersson as prime minister, and for the Center Party to do the same.
SD Source: Back down on the immigration issue
The concessions must be concrete. A well-informed SD source says: ”We will have to back down on the issue of labor immigration.” According to the reports, the SD is open to the Center Party’s position on significantly lowering the wage requirements for labor immigration.
In return, C is to accept the SD’s demand for zero or very few quota refugees. The talks are being held within a small circle. High-ranking SD politicians and key members of the Center Party whom Aftonbladet has been in contact with do not wish to confirm the reports.
Connection to Open Swedishness
At the same time, internal work on ”open Swedishness” is underway. On Friday, Åkesson took a firm stand in an op-ed in Expressen. According to sources, the party leadership is eager to defuse the debate and “level the playing field” so as not to alienate the Center Party. As part of this effort, discussions are underway about severing ties with the TV channel Riks, where the prominent figure Richard Sörman has been active in the debate on ethno-nationalism.
Following the publication, the Center Party responded that the reports of meetings outside the scope of the exploratory talks were inaccurate, and that the party’s goal is a centrist government focused on growth, reduced emissions, and a strong welfare state. If the reports that the Sweden Democrats are prepared to drop their demand for a ministerial post are accurate, it would represent a significant shift from the course Åkesson had previously charted.
The SD is backing down on yet another issue and letting in foreign workers who drive down wages. They really don't realize they're digging their own grave, but that's just as well.
THE SWEDISH DEMOCRATS, a thoroughly corrupt party.
Lunch buffet, Jimmie—it's time for you and Mattias to leave, because you've both ruined this sham of a party. :-(
The Sweden Democrats (SD), the "traitor party," no longer surprises anyone
The SD Was Intended to Be a Controlled Opposition, and Now We See the Results: Both Mattias Karlsson and Jimmie Åkesson Should Be Expelled Immediately.
