Jimmie Åkesson: SD is getting ready for the time after Tidö

At the beginning of the week came the news that the Sweden Democrats are reorganizing the committees. Several heavy names will change places. According to information to Expressen, there is internal talk of pokes.

In a debate article in the same newspaper, party leader Jimmie Åkesson now writes that he has not poked anyone at all. Instead, it is about SD getting ready for a time after the Tidö collaboration with the Moderates, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals.

Åkesson writes that the collaboration has been successful, but that in the meantime SD has begun to be perceived as a bourgeois right-wing party.

"At the same time, moderate and Christian-democratic ministers have been able to take credit for reforms that they did not want to implement from the beginning. Reforms that we had to bloody ourselves in negotiations to get through," writes the party leader.

Jimmie Åkesson describes SD as the very engine of the collaboration and claims that many reforms would never have happened without the party. At the same time, SD must have had to "manage" the cooperation parties, according to Åkesson.

"If the bourgeois parties are perceived as just as good (or good enough) in issues where the Sweden Democrats have been in the lead, at the same time as our voter confidence in other issues is significantly lower - then why should one vote for the Sweden Democrats instead of the Moderates?"

SD will be willing to cooperate on both the right and the left in the future, according to Åkesson. The party should not "get stuck in a fight with the Moderates" to be second largest, but aim to strengthen its own position.

Åkesson is not the only party leader who expressed a kind of goodbye to Tidö. Even Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has said that the Tidö collaboration belongs to the previous term, according to Dagens Industri.

- The Tidö project was clearly a project for the last term. It was a very good collaboration and also good during the election campaign, he told Di.

The Christian Democrats' party leader Ebba Busch has for her part said that the party has "the same attitude as before the election". When Magdalena Andersson last week returned the probe mission, after the Left Party chose to support Andreas Norlén (M) as speaker, Busch wrote on X:

"There is a majority in the Riksdag for bourgeois economic policy, that majority would serve Sweden well."
