Succeeded in cracking the political nut: C steps into red-green government

Social Democrat My Alnebratt led the political quartet into the press conference in Gothenburg. Proud and happy, she said, to have succeeded in bringing about a majority government. Red Green, it was already called without the Center, so what is the name of this new alliance?

- Yes. It was exactly that. Well, we've focused on the content. We have to come back with what we will call ourselves, says Alnebratt.

The most surprising partner - the Center Party's Cecilia Andersson - says that she knows that her voters did not want to enter a coalition with V. But other alternatives were simply not available.

- We wanted an S-M-C board, but then all the parties in such an alliance must be interested. They weren't. The question has been asked, Andersson says.

The center emphasizes women's care and young people's mental health as matters of the heart in the collaboration. The Left Party's Louise Jeppsson is passionate about public transport and the Green Party's Carl Forsberg wants to use his newly won mandates to continue strengthening the green line in the region.

The social democrat My Alnebratt says that the residents should notice that they are the ones who are put first by this government. And she thinks they all realized that there is more that unites these four parties than divides them.

Do you have any greetings upwards regarding this? To Magdalena Andersson perhaps.

- I probably shouldn't have it. But one thought everyone should take with them is that this thing about building the steering wheel takes time. Nor were we standing here three days after the election, ready to lead the region. It has taken time to arrive at this solution, says My Alnebratt (S).

The new alliance in VGR has 78 of the council's 149 mandates.

The chairman of the regional board will be My Alnebratt, but the other posts for the board have not yet been allocated.
