The Social Democrats are gathering strength for the 2030s

today at 11.42 a.m. Fanny Westling

There has been a right-wing majority in the Riksdag for almost 20 years. This means that the Social Democrats have reason for self-examination.

Today, Magdalena Andersson and Tobias Baudin present the plan for a new social democratic policy.

It is called “Direction for Sweden”.

– Basically, it’s about our country. We will bring the best of the old into the new, says Andersson and continues:

– But there are also things we should leave on the dustbin of history.

The fact that the Social Democrats are in opposition gives them the opportunity to look up, says Tobias Baudin at the press conference.

– It is clear that we have managed it for eight years, it has not been easy years. There have been a lot of compromises, says Tobias Baudin.
