What does this decision mean?
This is a demand that the Sweden Democrats have pushed for a long time, that Sweden should count the costs of immigration, but here they go further and have also managed to get some that open the door to comparing different nationalities.
The purpose of the Sweden Democrats is to obtain a foundation for future politics that is inviolable. After all, they have shown their own reports on this many times, but have always received criticism for not being credible enough.
How tough were the negotiations on this issue?
What I heard is that they were harsh and that wording was pushed and wetted at the level of detail. For example, the Liberals were not happy about this comparing different nationalities, but they are still satisfied that they have received that this study should be done over a longer period of time, and that things like opportunity costs in the event of a labor shortage should also be included.
Can this be used to sort out people from certain countries?
Yes, at least SD’s party secretary has made it clear that he thinks the result should be used as a steering tool for future migration policy and also for integration policy.
How have the reactions been?
Quite wait and see. The centers are critical and we have received a written statement from the Green Party asking what signals the Tidö parties want to send and what they want to do with the information.
What can you tell us about the new Tidö agreement?
This has been negotiated for a few weeks and now the negotiations are completely finished and the negotiations have also included that the various parties themselves can present different parts. Next week, a further number of news items will be presented, and these are new issues that the Tidö collaboration will focus on in the coming year.
