Hesitations about Sweden Democrats: It is a gray scale

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expresses uncertainty regarding the Sweden Democrats' (SD) suitability for government during an interview, referring to complex issues surrounding their political conduct.

In a recent interview with Aftonbladet's program 'My and the Power', Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson was questioned about the political viability of the Sweden Democrats (SD). He indicated his hesitations, particularly remarking that incidents such as drunk driving raise concerns about the party's governance. Kristersson articulated that the question of whether a party is fit for government involves a 'gray scale', reflecting the complexity of evaluating political parties based on their actions and reputations.

Kristersson further addressed the controversial issue of youth deportations, asserting that current government policies would not see immediate changes despite ongoing reviews of related regulations. He emphasized the importance of stability in the existing political cooperation between his party, the Moderates, and the Sweden Democrats, stating that they would not speculate on the future of this partnership at this time.

The Prime Minister's comments highlight the tension in Swedish politics regarding the integration of SD, whose past controversies continue to evoke public and political scrutiny. As Kristersson navigates these complex concerns, the stance of the Moderates towards the Sweden Democrats remains cautious, suggesting deeper implications for future government coalitions and policies in Sweden.
