With four months left until the election, the Tidö government on Tuesday presented a kind of review of the Tidö Agreement and what has been achieved during the mandate period. The government aims to continue the work and the high pace of reform for another four years.

In a 129-page document, they present in detail the reforms of the Tidö Agreement. Key points include asylum immigration at its lowest level since 1985, halved mortgage interest rates, deadly gang violence cut in half, shortened healthcare queues, the lowest tax burden since 1975, lower food prices, and Sweden having gone from the bottom to the top of the EU’s growth league.

– If we win the election, the first mandate period with the Tidö collaboration will be followed by a blue-yellow majority government that follows the course we have set, making Sweden stronger in a noticeably unsettled world right now, said Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).

According to Kristersson, Sweden is on the right track but not there yet, and he also states that the previous red-green government accomplished nothing during their eight years in power.

– We are proud but not satisfied. A lot has happened, but much more needs to continue happening.

Promises Fulfilled

Jimmie Åkesson (SD) sees the cooperation as successful and maintains that everything promised to voters has been carried out. He highlights in particular immigration, crime, and fuel prices. At the same time, he notes that much remains to be done, and that it is important for the work to continue.

– Many said it was impossible, you can’t do this, and now we have done it and it has had the desired effect.

Sweden Democrats in Government

The plan now is to continue the cooperation for another mandate period, and if the right-wing side wins, the Sweden Democrats will be part of the government with ministerial posts.

– This agreement has been important; it has provided a very clear steering oar for a country that then left behind eight years of great concern and turbulence in political governance, says Ebba Busch (KD).

– We stand here, four parties, because we have chosen responsibility over distancing, says Simona Mohamsson (L).
