SD Plan: Åkesson as Prime Minister – News Today

"We will try to launch Jimmie Åkesson as prime minister," party secretary Richard Jomshof (SD) told News Today when we asked him to comment on the latest Sentio poll. And if that does not work, the SD can lower a government headed by Ulf Kristersson, as they did previously against the Social Democrats.

– We also have no problem doing this in the future, says Jomshof

but most importantly, the influence and power that SD is seriously aiming for. News Today told Jomshof of the political chaos that awaits the fall of autumn

News Today / Sentio's Christmas measure shows that moderates, Christian Democrats and Swedish Democrats can together form a majority government . If the result of the measure becomes reality, the SD will be the largest party of Sweden.

This scenario is about all that the secretary of the Swedish Democratic Party, Richard Jomshof, opposes. But even though opinion polls show that it is theoretically possible, there are at the same time few people who dare openly believe this opportunity.

– That seems like a good suggestion. If you have contacts and you can fix them, thank you very much. "

We are sitting at the Swedish Democrat Party in Almedalen, a restaurant that SD has been hiring throughout the week." Here are Jomshof members sitting around to chat, socialize, eat a piece of food, drink beer and watching football too.

Have you ever tried to have a dialogue with the moderates?

– Jimmie Åkesson Very clearly, if you look at the parties that approach our half, this The best government would probably be a government with SD, KD, and M. If that had been a possibility, it would have been amazing.

At the same time, Jomshof points out that such discussions did not occur. not on the party level in any case, on the other hand, it is not completely frozen between SD and M when we look at the contacts between the parties.

A clear example is that several individuals from the new f Ungsvenskarna youth Confederation attended a meeting of the MUF. The protests against this have become a simple tweet of Jessica Schedvin, a profile that can be motivated more by attention than by ideological conviction.

The political game in the media takes place mainly. SD made plans several times to approach the moderates in various ways, but until now, he has been ignored by the leader M Ulf Kristersson. Instead, Kristersson has repeatedly promised not to be part of a government with SD. Instead, the moderates are elected by the Alliance, although several opinion leaders believe that the alliance's cooperation is dead.

Jomshof mentions the situation in Denmark and other neighbors where similar parties like the SD are part of the government base. In Denmark and Finland, our sister parties served as a government party or as a supporting party to a government with bourgeois parties. It's as if it's the way to go even in Sweden

Have you had any contact with any of the other seven parliamentary parties on what will happen after the elections?

– There is more will ask me. My picture is that there are personal level discussions, but not related to party leadership, as I know it. It was mostly the moderates.

An opening occurred when former leader Anna Kinberg Batra announced a new approach to Swedish Democrats. But she was forced to resign later and her successor Kristersson is even more cautious. Since then, there has been no discussion "at this level", says Jomshof.

– There are individual members, mainly in the Moderates, whom I know very close to.

How do you know that they stand? is near?

– Because I spoke to them and I know there are others who have spoken to them.
