Annie Lööf will not release a government that is dependent on the SD or contribute to a government in which V is a member, she announces this in P1’s hearing.
– The Left Party has never been in government and there is a reason for that, says Annie Lööf.
During P1’s party leader hearing on Wednesday, Annie Lööf was pressed about the issue of government formation.
Lööf announced that she will not show a soft line towards the Western Party. She also emphasized that she thinks Magdalena Andersson is more suitable as prime minister than Ulf Kristersson, as long as the Moderates get the support of SD.
– We will not release a government dependent on SD or participate in a government in which V sits. But we will be a constructive cooperation party.
“Waving” PKK flags in Almedalen is not appropriate, says Annie Lööf, referring to the Left Party.
– We have few, but clear red lines, says Annie Lööf.
The presenter likened C and V’s attempt to form a government with S to a “chicken race”. Annie Lööf answers that “politics is not a computer game”.
“Will do what I can”
Annie Lööf does not think it is appropriate to have the Left Party in the government, considering how politics looks today.
– Especially now that we are going to take Sweden in as a full member of NATO and be the country holding the presidency of the EU. You cannot have NATO opponents and EU opponents in a government if you are to be a showcase for the outside world and create majorities and consensus in the Riksdag, says Annie Lööf.
When asked how the center party will get through its budget if it sits in an S-led government, Annie Lööf answers that you first need to negotiate with the prime ministerial candidate who has the greatest opportunity to form a government.
– As a centrist, I will do what I can to pilot a good budget through the Riksdag. Then it’s about putting a budget that has a majority in the Riksdag, says Annie Lööf.
