Sweden Democrats promise cold beer at Systembolaget and low food VAT

Image générée par IA

Sweden Democrats present proposals for an election platform with promises of cold beer at Systembolaget, lower food VAT and abolished electricity tax.

The proposals are part of the party's election platform that will be debated and decided at the party conference in Upplands Väsby on 12–14 June. The party board stresses that after the next election the Sweden Democrats will be either a government party or an opposition party. Among the proposals are also Sunday opening at Systembolaget, cheaper dental care, general unemployment insurance and a review of the sick leave deduction. The party wants to reduce aid, permanently lower food VAT from 2028 and abolish the electricity tax that gave the state revenue of 31.5 billion kronor in 2024. The reduction of food VAT from 12 to 6 percent is estimated to cost 37 billion kronor in lost tax revenue until 2027. The platform also includes demands for a zero vision against sexual abuse of children and a public pedophile register.

Ce que les gens disent

Initial reactions on X focus on SD's new election platform promises including cold beer at Systembolaget, lower food VAT, and abolished electricity tax. Posts range from neutral news shares linking the articles, to skeptical comments questioning if these appeal to voters or represent empty promises, and speculation on SD aiming for government role instead of support party. High-engagement discussions highlight policy details and political strategy without strong partisan praise or criticism.
