Liberalerna has put forward proposals to let licensed stores sell beer, wine and cider. The party also wants simpler rules for serving alcohol and longer opening hours at Systembolaget.
Liberalerna presented a manifesto with 23 proposals for a more modern alcohol policy on Sunday. The party wants to allow licensed stores such as Ica to sell beer, wine and cider as a complement to Systembolaget.
Labour market minister Johan Britz says it should be possible to buy beer at Ica if the store receives a licence. The party also wants food trucks to sell opened beer and give Systembolaget the right to sell chilled drinks and stay open until 8 pm every day.
The proposals build on a decision from Liberalerna’s party congress in November 2023 but are now presented by the party leadership. Joar Forssell stresses that adults should be able to live their lives as they wish without unnecessary rules.
