Since 2021, the Center Party and the Sweden Democrats govern in Surahammar together with the Moderates.

Something similar may be going on in Skinnskatteberg.

There, the opposition, which includes both C and SD, has chosen to cooperate before the autumn elections to try to bring about a change of power.

The party leadership is following developments in both Västmanland municipalities, and has informed the local party branches that they do not support cooperation with the Sweden Democrats.

On a visit to Västerås, the party leader Annie Lööf (C) showed understanding for the choice of path that the party comrades in Surahammar have made.

In the clip you hear Annie Lööf commenting on the collaboration between C and SD in Surahammar: "Can have respect for how people have reasoned"
