A dispute over immigration policy erupted during the party leader lunch at Tidö, particularly regarding the issue of permanent residence permits. Simona Mohamsson from the Liberals expressed her disappointment with the investigation discussing the renewal of these permits, stating that she finds the inquiry to be inadequate. Her remarks reflect the growing tensions among the Tidö parties as they navigate complex immigration issues ahead of the upcoming elections.

The backdrop of this lunch dispute is crucial as Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, arrived late to a press conference where party votes were to be presented, explaining that the delay was due to the extended discussions among the party leaders. The main point of contention was whether to convert permanent residency permits (PUT) into temporary ones, a significant move that could affect many migrants in Sweden.

Mohamsson's comments could indicate a deeper rift within the coalition as different parties hold differing views on how to manage immigration and residency issues. With elections approaching, the pressure is on for aligned policies to be presented to voters, but this disagreement may complicate their strategy and public reception.
