Amanda Lind (MP) criticizes the Tidö parties' environmental policy and proposes a green return

Amanda Lind (MP) directed harsh criticism at the Tidö parties' environmental policy during SVT's hearing of the party leaders.

At the same time, the mouthpiece was pressed about petrol prices. The government's own investigator believes that fuel prices must rise to approximately the same level as in our Nordic neighboring countries - which today have around ten kroner more expensive petrol prices. Amanda Lind believes such a large increase is not possible:

- What is important for Sweden and to reduce our emissions is not least to mix more renewables into the tank. That's what the government turned down radically four years ago and emissions went up.

Among the MP's proposals is that Sweden becomes self-sufficient in sustainable renewable fuels. They also want a "green return" - support for people who live in sparsely populated areas and people with lower incomes in the cities.

But according to the investigator, higher petrol prices are also required.

- Yes, this is something that all parties are ducking for today. The government's last reduction of three cones has gone below the EU's minimum level. This will be back in November. No one wants to admit this.

That's how big the increase will be

In total, there will be an increase of SEK 4 this autumn, according to Amanda Lind.

- But you can compensate households in other ways. You can do it with cheaper child support and public transport, but don't do it by immersing ourselves in fossil dependence, but by working smarter.

Amanda Lind is also asked the direct question of how much more expensive the petrol price will be if they get to decide.

- We do not want to see any shock increases, it must happen in a controlled manner. The temporary reductions will disappear, it is four kroner. Then mix in renewables in the tank and there we expect about two kroner.

So six kroner. The party has not been so clear before.

- It is far below our Nordic neighboring countries. And with a green return that provides support to those in need. The aim of our policy is not to make it expensive for people to transport themselves but to get away from fossil fuels.

- But it is not something that can be done overnight. Then, what happens in 2028 that no other party is talking about is the EU's emissions trading system is coming. If we don't intervene now, we will have that shock increase then, but no one is talking about it.
