During the very last party leader debate before the election this Sunday, energy policy was first on the agenda.
The parties have different proposals on how electricity prices should be kept down.
- We want to see an agreement within the EU with electricity bills halved, high-cost protection for Swedish companies and households, says Magdalena Andersson (S).
The S leader describes today's special meeting with the EU's energy ministers as a "major breakthrough".
"Nothing to do with social democracy"
However, she is quickly rebuffed by the Moderate party leader Ulf Kristersson:
- It is great if the EU Commission now takes the initiative and works on the issue.
It has nothing to do with social democracy.
- No negotiations have started and no decisions have been made.
But Sweden cannot put our collective energy policy in the hands of other EU countries, he says.
The M leader also emphasized that on his side of politics, people agree on energy policy.
"Politicians must take responsibility"
At the same time, both Magdalena Andersson and Center Party leader Annie Lööf opened for a new energy agreement.
Annie Lööf also emphasized the importance for politicians to take responsibility.
- Now we have to sit down again.
All proposals must be on the table.
I am prepared to settle for business and households need long-term and stable conditions, says the C leader.
The Christian Democrats' Ebba Busch, just like the M leader, brings up nuclear power and says that her party wants to see ten to twelve new nuclear power plants in the coming years.
MP's Märta Stenevi quickly gave a reply to the KD leader and believes that nuclear power is used as a blanket.
- At the same time, we are in the middle of an energy crisis where people say no to a new wind farm, she says.
