The Sweden Democrats have abandoned their demand that Sweden leave the EU. In TV4’s interview with Jimmie Åkesson, the dividing line becomes clear when Alternative for Sweden is singled out as the party that is still pushing for Swexit.
The EU issue takes center stage when the SD leader Jimmie Åkesson be questioned about TV4. The conversation highlights the difference between harsh criticism of the EU and actually wanting to end Sweden's membership.
TV4 points to AFS
One of TV4's interviewers notes in the clip:
– The only party today that wants to leave the EU is, of course, Alternative for Sweden.
The clip was quickly picked up by AFS, which published the excerpt on Wednesday at X. The party highlighted TV4’s observation: AFS—not SD—is the party that still wants to take Sweden out of the EU.
The SD Backed Away from Swexit
This is where the Sweden Democrats’ shift in policy becomes clear. For many years, the party built its EU-critical profile on opposition to supranationalism and the possibility of leaving the Union, but later abandoned its call for “Swexit.”.
The strategy now is to try to change the EU from within. At the same time, this means that Sweden will remain in a union where decision-making and authority in several areas have been transferred from the national level to the EU institutions.
AFS has not changed its policy
AFS, on the other hand, has continued to call for Sweden’s withdrawal. When it comes to the question of who actually wants to leave the EU, the party can therefore point to a consistency that the SD no longer has.
This is also where the TV4 clip sheds light on the Sweden Democrats’ dilemma. The party can criticize the transfer of more power to Brussels and demand changes—but “Swexit” is no longer the solution the Sweden Democrats are offering voters.
For anyone examining the parties’ EU policies, there is thus a clear dividing line ahead of the election: the Sweden Democrats want to remain in the EU and reform it, while the AFS wants Sweden to leave.
THE SWEDISH DEMOCRATS & LUNCH BUFFET: Jimmie will NEVER AGAIN GET MY VOTE.
SWEXIT!!! SWEXIT!!! SWEXIT!!!
Agree
Yes, SWEXIT is still the way to go, even 30 years after I voted NO TO THE EU.
If anything, my "NO" has become much stronger over the years.
Some people say, "Vote for the Sweden Democrats, or else the Social Democrats will win."
But it doesn't matter—the whole 8klövern is a bust.
J. Åkesson proves that time and time again.
The AfD has 42%, and the other parties are terrified. We'll make sure it turns out this way, too.
Some people say, "Vote for the Sweden Democrats, or else the Social Democrats will win."
But it doesn't matter—the whole 8klövern is a bust.
J. Åkesson proves that time and time again. Yes
Judas—Jimmie the Emperor is naked.
Vote for Afs now
SWEXIT SWEXIT SWEXIT
So Jimmie thinks we should vote for the Sweden Democrats so we can get a few crumbs along the way to a Sweden where the entire population has been replaced. What a damn lousy argument
I think the Sweden Democrats are doing everything they can to pave the way for an S/SD coalition in the future, because that’s what lies ahead once the upper middle class has been wiped out. That’s why he says a lot of stupid things about *open Swedishness* and so on.
The Giant Traitor is holding court, talking about his wise voters, ha ha ha—half of those “wise” voters probably haven’t seen the Traitor’s latest statements, because if they had, the SD could have plummeted to 3.9%, which I hope they do, I’ll say it again, just like a guy on X said: Burn this shitty party to the ground, and I agree 100%.
No politician in Swedish history has let down his or her voters as much as J. Åkesson…………..
That he even dares to show off his newly invented Israeli look—where are the curls and the black hat? The whole Karl reeks of shit, even online. I can’t stand seeing this disgusting person on TV anymore; he gives me a damn rash.
AfS hasn't made the switch yet, but as soon as they get into the Riksdag, the Jew will be there, just like with the SD.
Don't vote for the Sweden Democrats or Jimmie—they've lost our trust. Vote for AFS instead.
