Åsa Romson (MP) must Friday morning pep delegates at the MP’s first congress of the party in government at the stage of Örebro. But behind the party has a tough spring with bad poll numbers and records in KU penalty points.
And just days before Congress was also informed of an issue with explosive force – Vattenfall’s lignite plant in Germany. The Company is actively buyers and hope for a deal by year-end.
Many MP-agent to run the party executive, which opens for some sales, and support a motion that the energy giant will retain the carbon to settle all operations.
The party leadership has been criticized for slipping answers. Åsa Romson disagree.
– No, we said clearly was not to expand the coal mines in Germany. It would be about Vattenfall bought new mines, but this is a sale or ownership ring that is about Waterfall want to do other than German coal power, and that’s good, she says.
You are not worried about continued coal mining in parts sold?
– What ultimately determines how many mines are used, the German statutory provisions. We have not expropriated land from the Swedish side. Obviously, Vattenfall can contribute to emission reductions, it requires me when they see the ownership structure of the ring, says Åsa Romson.
– We must return to if there is a green business proposed or not.
Create your responsibilities there?
– For the mines, they have a responsibility as a major energy player. Then I think it would be a very difficult position to be for time and eternity must continue to operate a business, says Åsa Romson.
It is well known that , the honeymoon did not materialize for the government . Friday will Åsa Romson on stage to go through what MP accomplished. But she says she urgently be surprised at how much they’ve been through and point to the defense, pensions group, school settlement and Energy Commission.
– in more areas than I thought they have found solutions.
At the government capability adds Green Party’s focus on now. At the Congress, a new strategy hammer which states that the most crucial for the next election is the government working party appears.
– We must realize deeply that it is a journey to go from being an opposition party to was a government party. We must learn to play at the stadium full. It is a learning process, it should not hide the fact.
Internal critics have suggested that the party loses its green soul. Åsa Romson agree that a focus on compromise, efficiency and an organization more akin to other parties is a balancing act for a party with the activist base.
– Of course, the party is changing. It is fundamentally necessary and good and makes it possible for us to become broader and stronger, which is needed to run our affairs.
Is not the risk that the MP will be the Social Democrats light with a little greener profile?
– Well, it’s certainly a discussion that will be taken. Does this mean that we should be a skimmed party with green varnish or do we stand out? I am confident that the Congress will say that we should be government working to implement our reforms, but our reforms aimed at social change far beyond the mandate period and therefore we have to stand out, says Åsa Romson.
Spokesperson’ve got to get used to with headlines about alleged gaffe. Åsa Romson do not want to talk about herself, but goes to attack a “hånattityd” in politics, mostly from the “political pundits”.
– To have strategies to pick up clean ordvrängerier does not create a good working . There is a tone which MPs comments in social media in a way that sometimes bordering on scorn. I have found an approach, but is very worried about those who choose not to enter into politics because of the climate, she says.
