The Liberals will work for Sweden to get a new bourgeois government after the election next year.

For this to be possible, one must be prepared to talk to and, to some extent, cooperate with all parliamentary parties.

This is how one can briefly describe the line that a majority in the Liberals' party board stands behind before the next party council next Sunday, where the party's way forward will be hammered.

But the issue has created divisions in the Liberals and the focus of the conflict is the relationship with the Sweden Democrats.

The critics, among them several senior party representatives, do not believe that L should cooperate with SD to any extent and that one should therefore not sit in a government that is dependent on support from Jimmie Åkesson.

Letter to the members

Sabuni has previously said that she does not want a close collaboration with SD.

However, she does not close the door to make budget agreements with the party.

But how far she is prepared to go in these potential deals is unclear.

In a letter to the members on Sunday, Sabuni is now trying to "clarify" his line on the issue, writes Dagens Nyheter.

“The budget must be produced with the bourgeois parties that make up the government base and the type of budget cooperation that we have today within the January cooperation is not relevant with either the Sweden Democrats or the Left Party.

Instead, we will with integrity also need to shape economic policy according to the majorities that prevail in parliament, "the letter states.

"Quite incomprehensible"

But the Social Citizens' Council Jan Jönsson, who is the leader of the party in the city of Stockholm, does not believe that the letter has had the intended effect.

He calls it instead "quite incomprehensible".

- I had expected a clarification that we would not have budget cooperation with the Sweden Democrats.

Now it is rather a description of how a collaboration could take shape, Jönsson tells DN.

Nor does Christer Nylander, Member of Parliament and the party's second deputy chairman, think that the letter makes Sabunsi's position on the issue clearer, he writes in a text message to DN.
