AI-generated summary

In the past, the Left Party has been clear that they will not drop the government demand, with reference to the party's congressional decision on ministerial positions.
When Ida Gabrielsson is pressed in Aktuellt, she says that V was ready to let go of many important issues and that even the demand for ministerial posts has been discussed.
- That was by far the most difficult, but it was not questioned by C. I rather thought that we would get an offer on what political concession the Center wanted, she says.
She believes that C has swung because they went to the election of Magdalena Andersson as prime ministerial candidate, and has never mentioned the possibility of opening up to a right-wing government or a dependence on SD support.
Gabrielsson is therefore convinced that "the process is rigged" and that the C leader wants to take over the party to Åkesson.
"If C slams the door on Åkesson, we who won the election can sit down and negotiate again, give and take, and of course compromise. But C must close that door ourselves," she writes later on X.
V has not changed his position
After the program, many wondered if V had wavered in his hard stance on ministerial posts. But, soon after, she published a clarifying post on X.
"No, we have not changed our position, my point here is that I do not think it has any significance now that C is prepared to go to SD", the post begins.
