A leader Stefan Löfven hold a press conference on infrastructure investments that the party would do if you come to power.

You want to add 27 billion on rail, 5 billion in road maintenance and 10 billion in railway maintenance.

In its election manifesto, the S indicated that it wants to increase funding to accelerate the deployment of railway, and that maintenance should be nationalized. It also wants to invest in high-speed tracks, expanded subway and other public transport.

The party wants to make new investments in the railway for 27 billion, in addition to government grants during 2014-2025.

“concrete efforts”

In addition to that S add 5 billion in road maintenance and 10 billion in railway maintenance.

– We have concrete investments, there is not really on the other side. You’re talking about 2025 and sketches, we have the funding in the near term, says Stefan Löfven.

Above all, efforts to bring forward construction.

– Should we bring forward would freight and passenger transport soon work better. Then we also get more manpower and better environment.

Finance Minister Anders Borg (M) was quick and commented S leader’s gambit:

– It’s quite clear that a S, V and MP government could cross rivets infrastructure.

– Again, we have a half-baked proposals does not work from the Social Democrats. Introducing a vägslitageavgift can, according to the Government estimates, coming in first place by 2021 It is a technically complex solution and a comprehensive procurement process that need to be managed and a normal preparation process, he says.
