Message from Ann-Sofie Hermansson

Hermansson said at the press conference that she would still look for cross-border talks and was convinced that the deal struck between the red-green rose and the alliance did not give them any power.

"In short, it does not seem to be a good day for Gothenburg, I'm really worried about the city's evolution, I will not ax it well, because nothing is clear. not near a full board.It's several weeks ahead.

She also explained how she would like to conduct further discussions with the Democrats.

"The two parties on which most of the Göteborgers voted are the Social Democrats and the Democrats, and for the moment the two largest parties are outside," said Hermansson.

On the question, she wanted to cooperate with the Democrats, she replied:

"It is clear that you will continue to make calls.
