The Left Party will demand influence over the content of the government's budget and presents in the debate article four demands to release it.

The party wants to see reforms in the health insurance system and the unemployment insurance fund.

Among other things, it is a matter of abolishing the qualifying period deduction at the same time as smaller companies are compensated for this.

They also want the unemployment insurance fund to be easy to qualify for and be able to live on in the event of unemployment.

- Sweden has historically had a very good unemployment fund.

During the pandemic, we all noticed that the unemployment insurance fund does not work.

We want to permanent what are temporary rules that exist today, says Nooshi Dadgostar in Aktuellt.

"An offer"

If the party does not get a hearing for their demands, they will vote on their own budget in the vote in the Riksdag.

- This is an offer to the government.

It is the government that should be grateful that they receive this information.

I regret that the Center Party has issued a call ban, says Dadgostar.

Want to see investments in equality

In addition to reforms to the unemployment insurance fund and health insurance, the Left Party also places four demands on the budget to release it.

On the one hand, they want the financing of welfare to cease and write: "All tax cuts in the budget must correspond to at least equal tax increases".

They also want to see reinforcements for welfare in municipalities and county councils and that the budget increases equality in society.

Furthermore, the Left Party demands that the budget includes significant investments in jobs and climate in order to strengthen the green transition.

Ultimatum in the rental issue

It was in June that the Left Party issued an ultimatum to the government on the rent issue and this became the triggering factor for the entire government crisis.

Following a no-confidence vote in the Riksdag, Stefan Löfven resigned and new rounds of Speakers were announced.

At the beginning of July, Stefan Löfven could be re-elected Prime Minister after the Center Party decided to release him again.

However, Löfven has announced that he will resign if he does not receive support for his budget this autumn.
