The Tidö agreement between the three governing parties and the Sweden Democrats (SD) must be followed to the last letter – otherwise “the basis for the government ceases to exist”, says SD leader Jimmie Åkesson during his traditional spring speech at Långholmen in Stockholm.

– The Tidö agreement is a basis from which we, together with the government, intend to act to build Sweden strong again. It is an agreement that must be followed, down to the last letter in the parts that are concrete. And if it doesn’t, it ceases to be an agreement. It just makes perfect sense. Then the basis for the government sitting where it sits ends, says Åkesson.

He goes on to say that SD got just over 20 percent in the election and that compromises are therefore necessary.

– One thing we must be clear about, the Sweden Democrats will fight for every millimetre, says Åkesson.
