The Green Party has announced it will push to repeal several of the Tidö parties' stricter migration and justice laws if the red-green coalition wins the upcoming election. Party spokesperson Daniel Helldén stated that certain laws are so serious they need to be changed, specifically citing the law allowing 13-year-olds to be imprisoned as one example that would be targeted for repeal.
According to reports from multiple Swedish news outlets, Helldén listed several areas where he believes the current government and the Sweden Democrats have gone too far, including labor migration, the abolished track change system, family immigration, maintenance requirements for residence permits, and the imprisonment of 13-year-olds. 'It is obvious that we will push for this to be repealed,' Helldén said regarding the youth imprisonment law.

The Green Party faces a challenge as its intended coalition partner, the Social Democrats, now has migration and justice policies that reportedly lie very close to those of the Tidö parties. When asked whether the Green Party can actually get the Social Democrats to agree to these changes, Helldén responded that 'it remains to be seen,' but noted that the Social Democrats had previously changed their position on teenage deportations, suggesting they are not an immovable monolith.
Helldén also emphasized that climate policy remains the party's red line, stating that a just climate transition is what they will push for in government positions. The Green Party reportedly aims for at least 7.4 percent in the parliamentary election.
