Löfven threatened by debate about betrayed campaign promises – Expressen

Stefan Löfven threatened by a debate about betrayed campaign promises before he even taken over as Prime Minister and tabled his budget.

The Green Party and the Left Party has forced him into negotiations for one of Sweden’s biggest ever infrastructure project, the Stockholm Bypass – despite S leader as recently as January of this year promised not to haggle about this, Expressen today tell.

Meanwhile, sources familiar with the negotiations that Jonas Sjöstedt abandoned its main election promise in negotiations with S and MP.

Stefan Löfven after the visit of the President at noon yesterday:

– My firm belief is to present a government and later presenting a budget that can go through parliament.

But to get there you must Stefan Löfven, Gustav Fridolin, Asa Romson and Jonas Sjöstedt abandon a series of campaign promises.

All thus risk a debate about broken promises.

Several sources told Expressen that the Green Party and the Left demanded that the giant road construction Stockholm Bypass, also questioned by several S-politician in Stockholm, to be postponed. And indications are that it will be so – despite all the promises from the Social Democrats.

According to Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet want both Left and the Greens stop the construction of term through a referendum or an independent inquiry.

But 2010 already promised Jämtin, then Social Democratic opposition Mayor of Stockholm, the Stockholm bypass will be built.

– We can not see how to solve congestion in either the car or public transport if we do not build the Stockholm Bypass, she declared time.

And as recently as January of this year gave Löfven clearly that the Stockholm Bypass is not a matter for negotiation. Asked if the Social Democrats are willing to haggle on the new highway was the answer from Löfven:

– No, it is not up to date.

The new Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård said at once:

– I do not see that it is possible to stop the construction.

avoided answering questions

But when Stefan Löfven yesterday met journalists after his visit with President avoided he will answer the question whether the Social Democrats stands at vallöftet building Stockholm Bypass. Instead, he replied:

– It will be a good solution that both parties are happy with.

In the election campaign warned Moderates on their election posters for the Red-Green approach to the construction of the road, with the message “BYE BYE passing.”

– A crappy campaign, claimed later Social Democratic electoral leader Jan Larsson and accused Moderates of lying.

“disagree”

Even left-wing leader Jonas Sjöstedt now risk a debate about broken promises.

Throughout the election campaign was the party’s main demands a ban on the gains in welfare and on the party’s election posters read, “Not for sale”.

But when Jonas Sjöstedt yesterday appeared in parliament, after the morning’s negotiations with Stefan Löfven and Green Party spokesperson, he mentioned no longer the word “ban.”

– Negotiations rules apply to gains in welfare in the welfare, stated he said.

The reason is that neither the Social Democrats or the Green Party would consider a ban – but the new rules.

This means that the Left abandoned its key election promise – to endorse Stefan Löfvens budget in December.

At the press briefing in Parliament yesterday refused a humdinger Sjöstedt comment on the individual approach in negotiations.

– We are not consistent yet, but just like Stefan Löfven said so We expect to eventually become consistent in this area. And for us it’s important to really do something about this profit pursuit of prosperity, he noted.

But if you only need more than that it becomes a total profit bans

– I can not comment on what comes out of the negotiations in the end.

is not closed prematurely

The Green Party also risk being accused of having betrayed campaign promises .

One of the hottest issues in valspurten about nuclear power. The Green Party ran on to shut down two nuclear reactors over the next mandatperoden and can not under any circumstances consider permitting new nuclear reactors.

As recently as last week left the sister party in Finland the government there when it was decided a new nuclear power plant – and the Green Party would, according to Expressen’s sources, do the same here if it became an issue.

But in Expressen’s party leader debate eleven days before the election could Stefan Löfven not even answer if he wants to allow the building of new nuclear reactors .

Also:

This summer gave the Social Democratic member of the nutrition committee, Ingemar Nilsson, clear message in an interview with Expressen:

– Our answer is that we do not to shut down reactors prematurely.

All questions are treated

According to several sources, the solution for government negotiations should be to stop nuclear power “mothballed” until further notice – but that it would be denied by Stefan Löfvens press secretary Erik Nises:

– Both Stefan Löfven and Magdalena Andersson has said that all issues are addressed.

And on Monday said Gustav Fridolin:

– We talk in every way that we can, when we need it.

thus risk being the Green Party a betrayal debate about the parties do not agree to shut down two nuclear reactors.
