The party will also back down on the immigration issue. Frihetsnytt predicted this as early as September 15.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sweden Democrats are seriously considering dropping their demand for ministerial posts, according to information provided to Aftonbladet. The party\u2019s 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 Tid\u00f6 faction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea that the SD would drop its demand for ministerial posts has been dismissed by many within the party, but <strong>Tor-Bj\u00f6rn Richthoff \u00c4nglasj\u00f6<\/strong> had already predicted on September 15 that this would happen, as can be seen in a news analysis <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dZslvMDQsEQ\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/dZslvMDQsEQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Henrik Vinge is leading the effort<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rapprochement between the Sweden Democrats and the Center Party is reported to have taken place. Several sources say that the Tid\u00f6 parties\u2019 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.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Henrik_Vinge-e1750478769429.jpg\" alt=\"Henrik Vinge, deputy party leader of the Sweden Democrats (SD) and chair of the Committee on Justice.

However, the Center Party denies that any other meetings took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Executive Committee meeting is scheduled to take place after Tuesday\u2019s 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 <strong>Ulf Kristersson<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SD Source: Back down on the immigration issue<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concessions must be concrete. A well-informed SD source says: \u201dWe will have to back down on the issue of labor immigration.\u201d According to the reports, the SD is open to the Center Party\u2019s position on significantly lowering the wage requirements for labor immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In return, C is to accept the SD\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connection to Open Swedishness<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Namnlost-6-1024x554.jpg\" alt=\"Mattias Karlsson pushed through the Sweden Democrats&quot; &quot;open Swedishness&quot; policy and purged the party of nationalists.

On Friday, \u00c5kesson took a firm stand in an op-ed in Expressen. According to sources, the party leadership is eager to defuse the debate and \u201clevel the playing field\u201d 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 <strong>Richard S\u00f6rman<\/strong> has been active in the debate on ethno-nationalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019s 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 \u00c5kesson had previously charted.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sweden Democrats are considering dropping their demand for a ministerial post in order to bring the Center Party on board\u2014the executive committee is meeting to discuss concessions on immigration<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2017,"featured_media":114003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[206,205],"tags":[155,4853,1322,156],"class_list":["post-181750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-inrikes","category-nyheter","tag-centerpartiet","tag-henrik-vinge","tag-jimmie-akesson","tag-sverigedemokraterna"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2017"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
