Daniel Schatz wrote that Mohamed Ali (V) had said he would be present in the parliament on Monday, while V, according to Schatz, denied it. He relayed the press secretary Tommy Gabrielsson's statement that it was a "misunderstanding." Schatz accused V of bullying its own member of parliament and wrote that the party had approved and actively promoted Ali's candidacy. He also questioned why Ali would continue to receive a full parliamentary salary at the taxpayers' expense if he was not working. https://t.co/ki17YrfLwU #politik #svenskpolitik #riksdagen (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

It is clear that he already has experience, he knows better what he wants and how to achieve it, he has coalition partners who do not pose a great challenge for him, or at least he gets his way very easily. In practice, he governs as if he did not even have coalition partners. According to analysts, this is why Babiš is stronger as Prime Minister today than he was in his previous government term: "It is clear that he already has experience, he knows better what he wants and how to achieve it, he has coalition partners who do not pose a great challenge for him, or at least he gets his way very easily. In practice, he governs as if he did not even have coalition partners," says Marie Bastlová, one of the most prominent Czech political podcast hosts, to the iRozhlas portal, who continues: "He doesn't hesitate with various democratic procedures in this country, he acts rhetorically and speaks in a way that, in my opinion, we could not even have imagined during the time of his previous government." #Babiš #Csehország #politika (translated)

Greta Andersson wrote that the Tidö side would likely have won the election if the media had scrutinized Magdalena Andersson's chances of uniting the opposition and forming a government before the election. Instead, according to her, the focus had been on 12 SD ministers. #politik #val2022 #media (translated)

Working irregular hours is equally taxing regardless of whether you do it in a nursing home or in a factory. The fact that welfare employees work longer hours is a historical injustice that must be rectified, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. It is incomprehensible that irregular work grants the right to shorter working hours in the male-dominated industry, but not in the female-dominated welfare sector. Now it is time to abolish women's working hours, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. #välfärd #arbetstidsförkortning #kvinnoarbetstider (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson questioned after a discussion with Martin Ådahl whether there was any other party that the Center Party considered sufficiently acceptable. She wrote that C had tolerated the Social Democrats and the Green Party because they had previously agreed to govern with bourgeois economic policy so that C would not collaborate with the Sweden Democrats. At the same time, she argued, C had criticized S for its migration policy and rejected the Left Party despite V agreeing with C on the issue. Gabrielsson contrasted this with what she described as a contradiction in the Center Party's rhetoric on decency. She pointed to ministers from the Moderates whom she considered increasingly Trump-like and accused them of going after journalists and conducting negative campaigns, as well as statements from the KD leader, the right's talk of voters as voting cattle, and comments from Member of Parliament Lars Beckman (M) and Alice Teodorescu (KD), whom she described as conspiracy theorists. She wrote that Ådahl and C seemed to believe that the former alliance parties did not really support their current policy, but had been kidnapped by SD and deep down wanted to return to the era of Fredrik Reinfeldt. Gabrielsson argued that Ådahl and Magdalena Andersson seemed to think that the parties would return to the center when the Tidö cooperation ended. She called the view condescending and emphasized that the changes could also have been made deliberately and voluntarily. During the election campaign, Gabrielsson stated, she had spoken with a leading center-right politician from Stockholm about more people voting for SD in the area where she grew up. She recounted that she had highlighted material and social reasons for dissatisfaction and mentioned a neighbor who worked almost around the clock on his farm and cleared snow in half of Norrland during the winters. According to Gabrielsson, the center-right politician had responded that a difficult life did not excuse a vote for SD, as others with difficult lives did not vote for the party. Gabrielsson also relayed that her father, who grew up in Ockelbo, used to refer to C and the farmers as "the right aristocracy." On Tuesday, he had told her that he had closed the door on a DN Kultur journalist who wanted to discuss the family's background and life in the countryside and in the industrial town of Åmotsbruk. Her father had also criticized C as the worst party of the day and said he preferred the party when it was at least a farmers' party. Gabrielsson wrote that she had corrected him, but at the same time agreed that a party with 7 percent could be perceived as self-satisfied if it assumed that others would follow its line. #Centerpartiet #Sverige #politik (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding why the Social Democrats did not listen to the Left Party, both with regard to common electoral promises and to the interests of the Social Democrats and voters. She stated that the Left Party had said since the time after the January Agreement that the party would demand influence in a government if its mandate was needed. Since the mandates were now required for the Social Democrats to form a government, Gabrielsson argued that the Left Party should be included. For Magdalena Andersson to be elected, the Social Democrats, according to her, needed to accept this and begin working towards a four-party government. She referred to the fact that the Social Democrats had 28 percent, not 45, and wrote that the party therefore needed to share and cooperate in a coalition government. #politiksverige #koalitionsregering #valse2022 (translated)
