The opposition on the right has widely differing views on the reductions in aid and climate aid presented by the government.
- We think you can reduce aid now, it is more important that aid becomes more effective than that the sum is high, says Martin Kinnunen climate policy spokesman for SD.
But the coalition party KD does not agree at all.
Party secretary Peter Kullgren thinks it will be very wrong to cut climate aid at the same time as Sweden is hosting the UN climate meeting this week, where one of the goals is to persuade the world's countries to speed up climate work.
- We are an aid-friendly party.
This will be wrong, and we would have liked to see any re-prioritisations made in another way, he tells SVT Nyheter.
Can create new waves of refugees
The Green Party is also very critical of the cuts.
As Swedish Climate Minister, Per Bolund was responsible for the negotiations on climate assistance at the UN's major climate summit in Glasgow this autumn, and believes that the rich countries' contribution to climate assistance is crucial for how the climate negotiations in the world go.
- On the one hand, poor countries need money now.
Reduced climate financing also risks paralyzing global climate work, says Per Bolund to SVT.
Both the MP and the Christian Democrats also make the connection that when you take money from aid to refugee reception, as in this case, the risk is that in the long run you create more refugees.
- We must remember that if we save on the most vulnerable, it can lead to situations in the world that create new waves of refugees, says Peter Kullgren.
