Right now, the Tidö parties are negotiating new policies that will be included in the new Tidö agreement.
But there won’t be any major, new projects. Among other things, because the resources at the government office must be exhausted.
– There will not be any major points presented when we go out with the new agreement, says a source.
The liberals demanded a euro investigation, the Sweden Democrats wanted to investigate EU membership and get written documents about military aid to the police.
Right now, the revision of the Tidö Agreement is being negotiated. The demands before the negotiations were sharp, but now they are played down.
What was first called Tidö 2.0, is now called Tidö 1.1, in conversations with people with insight into the renegotiation process.
From the government’s side, attempts are now being made to dampen expectations.
– In part, we are satisfied, but it is also about the fact that we will not launch any new major projects, says a source in the Moderates.
Annex – rather than new agreement
In conversations with people with good insight, it appears that the negotiations will result in an annex to the Tidö agreement, rather than a new agreement.
– The party leaders now get an overview of where the projects are located, says a source within government cooperation.
There are two reasons why the original version of Tidö stands up:
Firstly, the parties are said to be relatively satisfied with the content of the Tidö Agreement. Work on the major projects: Crime, migration, energy, school and household finances is considered to be underway at good speed and thus on the right track.
Secondly, the government office’s resources are considered exhausted. The officials at the Department of Justice, who deal with issues related to crime and migration, are said to be running at full speed and cannot shoulder any new, large-scale projects at the moment.
The latter explanation has also bitten SD leader Jimmie Åkesson.
During a meeting with the Riksdag journalists earlier in October, he made it clear that his party will not bring any major proposals or changes to the negotiating table.
The reason was that the workload at the department was high, said Jimmie Åkesson.
Strong pressure on the government
Despite the Tidö parties’ attempts to dampen expectations, there is heavy pressure mainly on the government to change part of the policy.
Within the Moderates there is an expectation of a more aggressive economic policy, not least with broad and comprehensive tax cuts.
Even the market-liberal think tank Timbro has repeatedly been strongly critical of Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson’s (M) policy.
Negotiations are currently underway and are expected to be completed by mid-December at the latest.
– There will not be any major points presented when we go out with the new agreement, says a source with good insight into the negotiations.
