Now Magdalena Andersson (S) and Muharrem Demirok (C) are holding a press conference.

Both criticize the government and the Sweden Democrats’ climate policy.

– Recently, we have received evidence that the development is unfortunately heading in the wrong direction, says Andersson, and refers to a report from the UN and the Climate Policy Council.

– We have the first government in 20 years that has a climate policy that leads to increased emissions, she continues.

Muharrem Demirok says that the Tidö parties have abolished climate policy.

– At the same time, SD’s criticism of the climate goals has increased day by day, he says.

– The government must immediately report to the Riksdag what the main elements of the government’s climate policy trade plan should be, he also says.

However, the proposal is criticized by the Social Democrats.

– Setting up obstacles for children to get summer jobs is downright idiotic, says city councilor Emilia Bjuggren (S), to the newspaper.
