Under onsdagens parlamentsafstemning om overgangsregler for strengere krav til statsborgerskab stemte to Sverigedemokrater (SD) trods optagelse på fraværslisten, hvilket tippede resultatet til fordel for Tidö-partierne med 147–146. Oppositionen anklager SD for manipulation og kræver en ny afstemning. SD's gruppeformand Linda Lindberg forsvarer beslutningen med, at vælgernes mandat skal respekteres.

Parlamentet stemte onsdag om oppositionens forslag til overgangsregler for strengere svenske krav til statsborgerskab, gældende fra den 6. juni. To politiske løsgængere, tidligere SD-medlemmer Katja Nyberg og Elsa Widding, stemte sammen med oppositionen (S, MP, V, C). Afstemningen kl. 16:19 endte 147–146 til fordel for Tidö-partierne.

SD's gruppeformand Linda Lindberg beordrede de afgående parlamentsmedlemmer Michael Rubbestad og Charlotte Quensel til at stemme alligevel. "Folket har afgivet deres stemmer på Tidö-flertallet, og som vælgere bør man forvente, at vores politik bliver til virkelighed, uanset et par effekt-søgende løsgængere på vores pladser," skriver hun i en kommentar til TT og Aftonbladet. Lindberg ønsker at gennemgå fraværssystemet.

Oppositionen er rasende. "Vi havde et flertal for overgangsbestemmelser i statsborgerskabsloven. SD vidste det og valgte at manipulere resultatet," siger MP's gruppeformand Annika Hirvonen. S-gruppeformand Lena Hallengren kalder det "undemokratisk" og "ligesom at snyde i kortspil". C's Daniel Bäckström siger, at SD "synker så dybt, at de bedrager demokratiet". V's Nooshi Dadgostar kræver en ny afstemning på X.

Statskundskaber Marie Demker kalder det et "alvorligt brud på praksis". "Det var vigtigere at få deres egen politik igennem end at respektere spillets langsigtede regler," siger hun. Moderaternes gruppeformand Mattias Karlsson ønsker, at gruppeformændene mødes for at diskutere systemet. Første næstformand Kenneth G Forslund (S) siger, at partierne må løse det internt.

MP, S og C kræver en ny afstemning, og Hirvonen har anmodet om et møde med gruppeformændene, eksklusive SD.

Hvad folk siger

Reaktionerne på X til, at SD-medlemmer stemte trods fraværslisten under statsborgerskabsafstemningen, er skarpt delte. Oppositionsprofiler som MP's Daniel Helldén og V's Nooshi Dadgostar fordømmer det som manipulation og en demokratisk skandale og kræver en ny afstemning. SD-støtter ser det som en smart og nødvendig taktik for at håndhæve Tidö-flertallets mandat mod interne oprørere og bakke op om strengere krav til statsborgerskab. Nogle udtrykker skepsis eller kalder det amatøragtigt.
