KD swings around the fast trains

- This was one of the Alliance's most important election promises in 2014 and the Christian Democrats have been eager promoters of new pedigrees, not least in strong KD strongholds like Jönköping, Infrastructure Minister Tomas Eneroth told TT.

He says that KD's new line, if it holds, indicates an inability to take responsibility for major and long-term decisions. KD's oscillation, or proposal, is evident from answers that the party board of KD wants the party meeting, the national assembly, to support in Umeå November 8-10.

Just days ago, the new L leader Nyamko Sabuni said that the Liberals did not intend to participate in any talks unless the Moderates intend to participate, which M has made clear that the party does not want. Both M and L have pointed out that the government has not made any proposals for financing a project that is estimated to cost at least SEK 230 billion.

Shortly after the government took office in January, Eneroth said it was in a hurry to get the talks on funding going again. He has not sent out an invitation yet. But it will, he assures. KD's and L's message doesn't change that.

-I still intend to invite you to a call. I still want to believe that there is interest in participating in and discussing the financing of new pedigrees in Sweden.

Christian Democrats party secretary Peter Kullgren believes that the government should put down plans if KD's new line is approved at the national assembly, writes Dagens Industri ..

"The high-speed railways run the risk of pushing away other necessary infrastructure investments, which is why we propose a turnaround," Kullgren told Di.

A focus on high-speed trains is included in the 73-point program, the January agreement, which the government, together with the Center Party and the Liberals, decided on. However, L has made no secret that they have always been skeptical of the project.
