Just a few years ago, the Sweden Democrats' proposal to deport entire families despite the fact that only one person in the family engages in criminal activity had been met with protests from the Moderates and Christian Democrats as well.
That is what SVT's political commentator Elisabeth Marmorstein thinks when she analyzes SD leader Jimmie Åkesson's hearing in Morgonstudion.
- It is about the fact that the Sweden Democrats are needed for the Moderates and the Christian Democrats to have any chance of governing, she says.
SD wants to show that they want to go the furthest
Since the Sweden Democrats have said yes to the mass refugee directive for Ukrainian refugees, they want to increase the rhetoric further when it comes to asylum immigrants, Marmorstein says.
- It is important for Åkesson to emphasize that the Sweden Democrats are always the party that wants to go the furthest when it comes to immigration and crime, she says.
