Pourmokhtari says she was faced with a choice when the Liberals switched sides and began to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats.
– I didn’t feel like I wanted to hide and do other things, then maybe I would have slept better at night.
She rules out sitting in a government with the Sweden Democrats after the 2026 election.
– I personally rule out being able to sit in such constellations. I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m already working hard to get it together as it is.
– It is not relevant for us that the Sweden Democrats should be in government, she says during a meeting with the Riksdag journalists.
The Liberals’ party leader Johan Pehrson has given the same message before.
Romina Pourmokhtari says that she has the same views now as when she was the youth union chairman in 2018 and then expressed that the SD was a party consisting of “racist nuts with Nazi roots”.
– Everyone in the Liberals basically thinks the same about the Sweden Democrats, she says.
She hopes that the parliamentary situation looks different after the next election.
– I hope that the support for liberalism is so great that you can find other constellations where liberalism has a greater impact than conservatism.
