There is a final agreement between the government and the Center Party on a relaxed beach protection and a strengthened right of ownership for private forest owners.
At least that is the opinion of the Center Party, which voted yellow for Löfven in the Prime Minister's vote on Wednesday under those conditions.
The governing party, the Green Party, opposes that description of reality.
When Minister of the Interior Mikael Damberg (S) is asked in Aktuellt about who is actually right, he answers:
- The Social Democrats have been clear that if we have a settlement with other parties, we will honor them.
This also applies to the Center Party in this situation, of course.
If you go hand in hand with the Social Democrats, that applies.
- It is no secret that there have been different interests in these major issues that have different perspectives, not least city and country, environmental considerations and other economic considerations.
I am completely convinced that it is possible to resolve these issues if all parties do their utmost, says Damberg.
"The Green Party wants to be involved in driving the change"
Succeeding in one C and MP before this autumn's budget vote in the Riksdag is one of the most important issues for the Social Democrats in the future, as support from both parties is required to get the budget through.
- The Green Party has enormous interests to be involved in driving the green transition of Sweden.
This autumn, we will need to set a budget that entails a restart of the Swedish economy, focus on jobs, welfare and security investments.
Those interests unite many of the parties that today say that Stefan Löfven should be prime minister, says Damberg.
