It is against this background that I now turn directly to you. The leader of the Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson, invites the Center Party's Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist to an "unconditional conversation about the parliamentary situation," he writes on X. #Sverige #politiksamtal #Sverigedemokraterna (translated)

Jimmie Åkesson from the Sweden Democrats has invited Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist from the Center Party to an open-ended conversation about the parliamentary situation, while he maintains the demand for the Sweden Democrats to be part of the government. #Sverige #politiksamtal #Sverigedemokraterna (translated)

Stefan Stern described Jimmie Åkesson's initiative in the locked parliamentary situation as interesting and, according to his assessment, sincere. He wrote that Åkesson had taken the initiative in a way that surprised, and that Åkesson would appear to be the more mature party in front of the voters if Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist declined an unconditional meeting. #politik #Sverige #parlamentariskt (translated)

Mr. Husis wrote that his side would not win the power struggle within SD as it lacked influence. He argued that Vinge had the full support of the party leadership and that possible opponents, including Tobbe, Aspling, and Sjöstedt, had already been sidelined. According to him, there were no media platforms or established media houses outside of X that would argue against Vinge's line. He also wrote that no one would join SD and attend the national conventions to demand the resignation of Jimmie Åkesson and/or Vinge. Even if someone did, the party leadership would quickly maneuver the person out, he claimed. His side would instead protest on X, refrain from voting for SD, and continue with their lives, he wrote. #politik #SD #inbördeskrig (translated)

Mira Klang wrote that Sweden had gotten its first female municipal councilor with roots in Somalia and stated that she was the sister of Mohamed Nuur (V). Klang claimed that Nuur wanted to deport Jimmie Åkesson and aimed for 100,000 people in Sweden to be named Mohamed. She also quoted the phrase "May Allah bless you." https://t.co/9XTZuLI7kS #Sverige #KvinnligtLedarskap #Integration (translated)

Mr. Husis wrote that the Sweden Democrats would never become Sweden's largest party. He referred to the stigma surrounding the party and the demographic composition of the population, which he believed made it practically impossible to surpass the Social Democrats. He also assessed that Vinge's, Eos's, Karlsson's, and Åkesson's ambition to make the Sweden Democrats more like the Moderates would fail. According to him, dissatisfied center-right voters could instead choose the Moderates, Christian Democrats, or Liberals, as the Moderates were perceived as a more reasonable and credible alternative on immigration issues. He explained that the Sweden Democrats approaching 20 percent in polls was due to dissatisfaction with immigration policy and the party's dominance in that issue. Husis posed the question of whether the Sweden Democrats should be satisfied with 10-15 percent and pursue policies that the Moderates, Christian Democrats, and Liberals could also implement, or maintain a distinct profile. He argued that the party should prioritize the interests of ethnic Swedes and stand up for the Swedes' right to their country. According to him, the future of the Sweden Democrats lay in distinguishing themselves from the other parties. #Sverige #politiken #demografi (translated)

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)

Mr. Husis wrote that Jimmie Åkesson had recently said in a debate article that the Sweden Democrats should become more like the party had been in the past. He recommended that the party leadership study Björn Söder's actions from 2013 as an example of how political statements that denied the existence of Swedes could be responded to. According to Mr. Husis, that stance was what gave the party a justification for existence, rather than becoming a pale copy of the Moderates. #politik #Sverige #SD (translated)

"Behind the scenes of the government office, the Sweden Democrats have been the driving force in the entire cooperation." In an op-ed in the same newspaper, party leader Jimmie Åkesson now writes that he has not excluded anyone at all. #Sverigedemokraterna #JimmieÅkesson #Val2026 (translated)

Jimmie Åkesson announces that the Sweden Democrats are preparing for the time after the Tidö cooperation and accuses the coalition parties of claiming credit for SD's reforms, while the party plans to strengthen its position regardless of political direction. #Sverigedemokraterna #JimmieÅkesson #Val2026 (translated)

Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)

Had I been the speaker, I would have conducted the prime minister votes in order of size without further discussion. Andersson tomorrow, Kristersson on Friday, Åkesson on Monday, and Dadgostar on Tuesday. Then everyone will have shown their true colors. Rip off the bandaid. Sweden doesn't have time for sandbox nonsense. #Sverige #politik #statsminister (translated)

Here I agree with Åkesson. Magdalena Andersson was quick to declare herself the winner. Then it is also she who should be tested in a prime minister vote in the parliament. Instead, she backs down and tries to avoid her responsibility. https://t.co/3xqnTGMfOr #politik #Sverige #riksdagen (translated)

Var är Kristersson, Åkesson, Busch, Mohamsson? Hade SD valfuskat med hjälp av gängkriminella så hade Andersson, Ygeman med flera kallat till pressträffar varje dag. DN hade tryckt upp extranummer med begravningssvart förstasida. Varför är de så tysta nu när demokratin ÄR hotad? #Demokrati #Sverige #Politik
