Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson claims that there is already broad support for nuclear power in parliament, contrary to the views of the Social Democrats who insist a comprehensive agreement is needed.
In a recent discussion, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson of the Moderate Party and Energy Minister Ebba Busch have expressed differing views on the necessity of a wide political agreement for nuclear power following the collapse of energy talks in 2025. Busch advocates for a cross-party consensus with the Social Democrats concerning energy policy, asserting that progress was stalled by opposition from the Moderates and the Sweden Democrats. Meanwhile, Kristersson contends that there is already substantial parliamentary backing for nuclear energy and argues that no new agreement is required, citing a significant legislative decision achieved in December that garnered almost 80% support from lawmakers, including a favorable vote from the Social Democrats.
