The Center Party will not support SD’s declaration of no confidence in Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson (S).
It writes C-leader Annie Lööf on Instagram.
“We are completely behind the criticism of him that a united KU directed yesterday. But it is not of such a nature that it justifies a distrust “, writes Lööf.
She emphasizes that the government needs to do much more to increase security for people.
“But. It is not achieved through a political game that does not solve any problems, 100 days before the election, writes Lööf.
“Seriously now”
She emphasizes that Sweden does not benefit from opposition parties or the government putting government power at stake in this uncertain world situation.
“It’s serious now. Now collection and action are required “, writes Lööf.
The center leader warns that Sweden is in a very sensitive security policy situation, in the middle of a NATO process and at a time with an alarming spiral of violence with deadly gang violence.
Lööf calls for more action to push back the deadly gang violence and men’s violence against women.
“Political play does not break societal problems. Sweden needs, now more than ever, leaders who seek cooperation – not division, “concludes the C-leader.
“Early retirement Johansson”
It was at the Riksdag’s question time on Thursday that the Sweden Democrats’ group leader Henrik Vinge requested that the Riksdag test the confidence in Morgan Johansson next week.
– We have come to a point where the single most important criminal policy measure is to prematurely retire Morgan Johansson, Vinge said at question time.
The Moderates, Christian Democrats and Liberals then announced that they support SD’s no-confidence vote. Ulf Kristersson said that the Moderates have not had confidence in Morgan Johansson for eight years.
– Therefore, it is obvious for us to stand behind such a declaration of no confidence, Kristersson said.
Later, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson (S) declared that she would also resign if Johansson was convicted.
– In Sweden, we have collective decision-making in the government. If you dismiss a minister due to political decisions, then of course you dismiss the entire government. It is a matter of course, Andersson said.
SD, KD, M and L together have 174 votes in the Riksdag and at least one more member is needed to overthrow Morgan Johansson.
