  • The Liberal Party has reportedly traded policy demands for ministerial posts for SD

The Liberal Party's board is convening on Friday at 10:00 to make a crucial decision regarding Sweden Democrats' potential participation in government, according to multiple media reports. Swedish Radio Ekot reports that an agreement exists between the parties stipulating that SD would enter government if the Tidö parties secure an election victory. Sources indicate the Liberal Party has reportedly traded policy demands for ministerial positions for Sweden Democrats.

This development comes despite party leader Simona Mohamsson's assurance last autumn that the party would maintain its opposition to SD's participation in government. The meeting is expected to yield a new decision on the matter, potentially marking a significant shift in the Liberal Party's stance toward its coalition partner.
