Centre Party sets ultimatum before Friday – SD drops demand for ministerial posts
Published
The Centre Party has given an ultimatum to the politicians who want to become Sweden's next prime minister. The party wants them to have answered its questions by Friday at the latest. According to Sveriges Radio, the announcement comes after the Sweden Democrats said the party no longer demands ministerial posts in a future centre-right government.
The Sweden Democrats' decision is an important change in the political negotiations. For some time, the question of ministerial posts has been one of the biggest parts of the discussions about a new government. By dropping the demand, the party shows that it is willing to compromise in order to bring about a government with the other centre-right parties.
The Centre Party has at the same time set a clear deadline. Its ultimatum means that the other parties must clarify their positions before Friday. It is not yet clear what will happen if the answers are not sufficient for the Centre Party. The party has not given any detailed explanation of its demands in the information published so far.
For Swedish voters, the events mean that the question of government remains open. How the centre-right parties land in their talks may affect which political lines gain greater influence in the next government. It is therefore important to follow developments in the coming days.
