the changes that the right prepares when arriving at the Government

The far-right leader welcomed the fact that his formation has become the second most voted party in the country and pointed out that the Swedes have called for a change of government after eight years of “failed social democratic policies” in which the country has been guided ” in the wrong direction.”

Akesson’s words come just after the Prime Minister, the Social Democrat Magdalena Andersonmade the announcement that this Thursday he will present his resignation.

With 99.7% of the votes counted, the right-wing bloc (the Moderate Party, the Sweden Democrats, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals) would have won the election by three seats. All these formations would obtain 176 seats of the 349 in the Chamber compared to 173 for the Social Democrats; according to the count of the Electoral Authority, which includes the external vote and the anticipated votes sent within the deadline but that did not arrive on time.

Faced with this situation, the leader of the Moderate Party, Ulf Kristersson, has stated that the time has come to form a government. His party obtained 19.1% of the vote against 20.6% of the extreme right (Sweden Democrats). But according to the Swedish media it could be Kristersson who headed the new Executive and led the four conservative formations.

sweden electionsheld last Sunday, have marked a milestone in the politics of this country since the anti-immigration Sweden Democratswhich is rooted in the principles of white supremacy, will be decisive for the first time in government policy.

The success of this far-right party, which has outperformed Kristersson’s Moderate Party, has raised fears that traditional tolerant and inclusive policies in Sweden will now be a thing of the past, he says. Reuters.

However, the far-right party has exploited its mantra that Sweden’s ills (explicitly alluding to street gang crime) are the result of decades of overly generous immigration policies, and that mantra has caught on with voters.

Despite the fact that the Sweden Democrats have been ahead of the Moderate Party, it seems that it will be the latter who will now gather the necessary support to carry out the reforms to try to solve the energy crisis, curb citizen insecurity and reduce social exclusion, according to the message posted by Kristersson on his Facebook account.

Ulf Kristersson affirms that he intends to build a government “for all Swedish citizens”. He says that he is aware of “the great frustration that exists in society, the fear of violence and economic concerns.” The leader of the Moderate Party assures that “we live in a world full of uncertainties and where political polarization has gone too far. Also in Sweden.” That is why he wanted to convey a reassuring message: “I intend to unite society, not divide it.”

Although Kristersson’s party has remained the third political force, Jimmie Akesson’s Sweden Democrats are a formation incapable of uniting the necessary consensus around the right-wing bloc to dislodge the Social Democrats from power.

That is why analysts agree that It must be Kristersson who tries to form a government with the Christian Democratic party and rely on the parliamentary support of the Sweden Democrats and the Liberals. Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson has accepted defeat, but has warned that many Swedes are concerned about the success of the far right. She will now have Kristersson’s turn to take the helm of a block that will not be able to continuously sail to starboard.
