- Are there any negotiations that the Moderates have not left in recent years ?, asked Morgan Johansson in the SVT Morning Study on Tuesday, but the issue became rhetorical, for the Minister of Justice and Migration had said in advance that he did not intend to debate with the Moderates' migration and social insurance policy spokeswoman Maria Malmer Stenergard.

The fact that SVT agreed to let both parties sit at the same table at broadcast without debating has been criticized, including on Twitter and by Malmer Stenergard.

- It felt totally bizarre to sit opposite each other and not get to debate. Sweden's state-carrying party refuses to discuss one of the most important issues, says Maria Malmer Stenergard to Aftonbladet.

Great interest

Judit Ek, tf responsible publisher says that in the Morning Studio, Johansson was open to a conditional interview.

- We were transparent that he set a condition, but it becomes strange when you see that they sit opposite each other and do not respond directly, but talk about each other, she says.

Why did you choose to agree to that condition?

- Because Morgan Johansson is Minister of Migration. There was a great public interest in what he had to say about the broken settlement, to hear him, what he had to say.

The background is the broken migration negotiations between the government and the Moderates, which were reported on Monday.

Social Democrats: "Natural"

Morgan Johansson press secretary Adriana Haxhimustafa writes in an e-mail to the Culture News:

“Morgan Johansson was invited to a conversation with Ulf Kristersson (M) to talk about the broken negotiations. Ulf Kristersson, however, chose not to stand. 

When it comes to debate on the work of the parliamentary committee, Morgan Johansson is not on the committee. It is natural that such debates are led by the party representatives who sit in and have direct access to the committee's work. "

The cultural news is looking for Maria Malmer Stenergard.
