The night before the upcoming prime ministerial vote, rumors began to circulate that V leaders Nooshi Dadgostar and Magdalena Andersson (S) were close to resolving the last knot - the conflict over pensions.
Higher pensions for the most vulnerable are one of the Left Party's demands for releasing Magdalena Andersson in the Prime Minister's vote.
S has not wanted to agree on something that could crack the cross-bloc pension group.
A settlement with V also risks pushing away the Center Party's support, which is required to gain a majority in the Riksdag.
Prolonged negotiations
The situation has resulted in protracted and intensive negotiations.
On Tuesday, however, signals came from SVT's sources that something had changed, that problems had been solved and that the discussion had been carried forward.
At 8 o'clock, Nooshi Dadgostar announced that there was a ready-made proposal for a settlement.
Late in the evening, after a meeting with the Left Party's party board, the final message came: The government and V agree on a settlement and the Left Party will release Magdalena Andersson in tomorrow's prime ministerial vote, according to press releases on S, V and MP's websites.
Fateful vote awaits
Now the question is how the Center Party will act.
- Should the agreement between V and the government go too far to the left, perhaps C will re-evaluate its previous announcement that they will release Magdalena Andersson, says SVT's domestic policy commentator Mats Knutson.
The Center Party has also demanded that the Left Party should not be allowed to participate in and negotiate the budget that is on the Riksdag's table.
At 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, all members will gather in the Riksdag chamber to decide Andersson's fate.
If fewer than 175 members vote red, ie no, Magdalena Andersson will be Sweden's first female prime minister.
