Business concerns before the formation of a government and the role of the Center Party

There are big differences in economic policy among the parties that want Magdalena Andersson as prime minister. Above all, it is proposals from the Left Party and the Green Party that cause business representatives to react.

- It worries me, partly that they want increased taxes, and that they also want to introduce completely new taxes that would make it more difficult with capital formation and financing companies, says Magnus Demervall, CEO of the interest organization Företagarna, to SVT's Agenda.

- The fact that, in addition to that, they want to remove qualifying deductions and legislate on shorter working hours - it's a toxic cocktail.

During the election campaign, there were outbursts from business representatives directed at all parties. Now, after the election, the focus is on the Center Party.

Company leader Johan Andersson has written a debate article to try to influence the Center Party, and says he is appearing in an interview in Agenda with the same goal.

- My purpose in going into the debate is to give rye in the back so that the Center Party can stick to its values ​​and its company-friendly policy, says Johan Andersson.

You yourself are a very rich business leader - aren't you just talking for yourself here?

- I probably speak partly for myself, but we are a large company that operates in many different industries with 7,000 employees in our subsidiaries. I thus become an example when I see how things can go for our companies if some of these political proposals are implemented.

Another example is the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, which this week submitted its wishes directly to the Center Party's party secretary Hannes Hervieu.

- The most important thing is to resist the harmful tax proposals that exist - billionaire tax, company tax, bank tax, exit tax, says Daniella Waldfogel, CEO of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.

There was a warm welcome when the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce arrived at the Center Party's office, but the party secretary does not want to go into what issues they will fight the hardest for in the government negotiations.
