The Swedish Green Party wants to repeal several of the Tidö parties' tightened laws in migration and justice areas if the red-green coalition wins the election, according to reports from multiple sources including Svenska Dagbladet. Party spokesperson Daniel Helldén stated that it is obvious they will push for this to be repealed, citing examples such as the law allowing 13-year-olds to be imprisoned. Helldén reportedly listed other areas where he thinks the government and the Sweden Democrats have gone astray, including labor immigration, the abolished track change, family immigration, and conduct requirements for residence permits.

He noted that some things are so serious they need to be changed, even though the Green Party's main track is not to pursue a large repeal policy.
