Kalmar. Prime Minister Stephen Löfven have called the party’s all district chairpersons to conference call on Thursday, to discuss the recent disaster figures for the Social Democrats.
– It is very rare that the Prime Minister convene a place like this meeting, says an informant.
Meanwhile, sources Expressen that the internal discontent are growing in line with opinion collapse and that a consequence may be that the party secretary Carin Jämtin forced away.
Two of the three recent polls Moderate Party has overtaken the Social Democrats as the largest party, and in all sheep Social Democrats below 25 percent. In Sifo’s voter barometer recently announced support was only 23.2 percent – the worst figure since Sifo started his measurements in 1967.
Because of the crisis and a growing concern around the country, Prime Minister Stephen Löfven called each district to a conference call on Thursday.
During the crisis meeting he is expected to declare the established path – despite the bad opinion polls – stands.
“Not impossible to Jämtin forced leave”
According to Expressen, several party district recently expressed dissatisfaction with the party leadership communicates with the districts, and the responsibility for this falls heavily on the party secretary Carin Jämtin.
As party secretary, she will be the link between local politicians and party hacks.
– It is not impossible that she was forced to leave the post soon, says an insider S-source.
From party central, very little has been said about the scandals surrounding the Municipal Workers’ Union and Secretary Margot Wallström’s apartment business, although those of many S-representatives considered to have caused great harm.
Löfven accused of being fuzzy
At the district accused the party leadership also to be have been too passive and dilatory when it comes to refugee crisis, and many believe that policy developments are now moving far too slowly. Stefan Löfven accused addition of some party colleagues for being too vague in debates and interviews, and to not have any concrete plan to turn the crisis.
Party secretary Jämtin do not want to answer questions about the upcoming conference but greet through his press secretary Isabell Ekwall:
“We often have internal telephone meetings with various representatives of the party district, but we are commenting as usual, not their content.”
Allows situation is concern
When Expressen meets Stefan Löfven Kalmar Wednesday afternoon, he admits that public opinion situation is worrying.
– We have bad numbers, I’m the first to admit. But I’m not going to keep on changing the course of it. We have a course and it is important for Sweden. We can not keep on lowering taxes and believe that everything will get better by it. We must build a society.
SU-chairman Philip Botström mean that it feels like “the government has lost direction.”
Stefan Löfven disagree.
– No, I do not. We have a very clear direction. We got a direction by Congress in 2013, we had the convention in 2015, we have presented two government statements, we have a budget and a vårändringsbudget. All pointing in the same direction, it’s over with cuts and tax cuts. Now it’s investments applicable. Clear direction, and that direction should we hold.
“It shows that SD is a right-wing party”
The fact that the Sweden Democrats party leader Jimmie Åkesson now promises to support a common alliance budget without negotiations, said the Prime Minister this:
– This shows that there is a right-wing party, as I have said all along. Now they are very open about it. Then he says he does not even need to negotiate to support anything, it makes the second judge.
Do you see an increased risk that the alliance would like to topple the government on various issues, given the prevailing Opinion situation?
– The question lies entirely with them. It is they who must decide if they want to have a systematic cooperation with the Sweden Democrats. The issue does not own me. But what I have heard so far, so do not want Liberals and the Centre Party have that kind of cooperation with the Sweden Democrats. It should be remembered that the mandates in the parliament is still such that we are greater than the four. So, for their part, need to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats.
How will you react if your next budget falls?
– It is a completely hypothetical question.
But we’ve been through it once?
– It is actually up to the four center-right parties if they want cooperation with the Sweden Democrats, it is they who should answer that question. That I can not answer.
Are you worried?
– No, we put our budgets and I know what course we should have. Would the four center-right parties have a cooperation with the Sweden Democrats, it’s their decision. It is they who should answer that question.
