Flere medieberetninger tyder på, at Liberalpartiet forbereder en reversering af sin faste holdning mod Sverigedemokraterne i regeringen, med et bestyrelsesmøde fastsat til fredag og en potentiel kunngørelse midt i lave meningsmålinger og intern uenighed.
Beretninger fra SVT, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen, Kvartal og Dagens ETC tyder på, at Liberalpartiet (Liberalerna) er ved at mildne sin 'røde linje' over for Sverigedemokraterne (SD). Partiformand Simona Mohamsson har foreslået skiftet, som skal diskuteres på et bestyrelsesmøde fredag den 13. marts 2026. ͏͏This would mark a reversal from the party's position since autumn 2025, solidified at its November 2025 national convention in Karlstad. There, delegates voted overwhelmingly to support extending the Tidö agreement—backing a bourgeois government of Moderates, Christian Democrats, and Liberals—with SD providing external support but barred from ministerial posts. Party secretary Fredrik Brange then stated the focus would shift to policy and winning voter trust. ͏͏Facing dismal polls at 2% (DN/Ipsos February 2026, the lowest since 1979), the Liberals are reportedly negotiating concessions, such as enhanced support for the disabled via LSS and a possible euro referendum, in exchange for allowing SD into a post-September 2026 election coalition. Discussions have involved a small group of cabinet ministers, with board members briefed Thursday evening. ͏͏A press conference with Mohamsson and SD leader Jimmie Åkesson is planned post-meeting. A special national convention on March 22 will vote on the change, potentially as a confidence matter. Internal reactions are fierce: one source told DN it 'risks killing our party,' while another called it a 'bolt from the blue.' SVT commentator Mats Knutson highlighted the controversy, given many members' opposition to SD ties. The party has not commented.
