Tonight's agenda includes Christer Nylander, the Liberals' second vice president, and Anna Starbrink, regional councilor in Stockholm.

They are among the biggest internal critics of the party line that was hammered out during the party council on Sunday.



The party leader Nyamko Sabuni would also have participated but dropped out at the last minute.

Instead, party secretary Juno Blom will take her place.

Analysis: Big victory for Sabuni but the party deeply divided

Nyamko Sabuni won a major victory at the Liberal Party Council.

But the road ahead can be difficult.

The party is still deeply divided on the issue and cooperating with the Sweden Democrats is likely to be problematic.

Nyamko Sabuni's line won under the party council with the votes being 59-31.

This means that before the 2022 election, the Liberals will go to the polls to form a bourgeois government, even if it would require them to be released by the Sweden Democrats.



The idea is to, in the event of an election victory, form a government with the Christian Democrats and the Moderates.

And then find different majorities for politics without directly negotiating with SD.



The internal critics believe that the practice means that SD will demand concessions.

The Liberals entered into the January agreement after the last election precisely to counteract it.

SD themselves give the critics partly right.

"It is not interesting for me and the Sweden Democrats to be a support wheel for a government that does not give us influence that is in proportion to our size," Jimmie Åkesson wrote on Facebook on Sunday.
