Järvaveckan kicks off Wednesday for the seventh time since 2016. All parliamentary parties have been invited to give speeches to this year's event.
Three parties choose to send people other than the party leaders: the Sweden Democrats, the Christian Democrats and the Moderates. The Christian Democrats do not state why party leader Ebba Busch refrains from participating, but writes the following to SVT: "Jakob Forssmed will speak for the Christian Dems" The Moderates refer to foreign policy: "We see it as an opportunity to front our group leader instead"
