Magdalena Andersson seeks Swedish coalition excluding Left Party from cabinet
Magdalena Andersson aims to form a Swedish minority government with the Centre and Green parties, relying on the Left Party for parliamentary support.
Swedish Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson announced plans on Sunday to form a minority coalition government with the Centre Party and the Green Party, proposing that the Left Party serve as a support partner outside the cabinet.
Speaking at a news conference in Stockholm, Andersson stated she intends to spend the coming week working toward a government comprising the Social Democrats, Centre Party, and Greens "in close cooperation with the Left Party." She noted that if the Left Party refuses a supporting role, only a centrist government would be viable in practice.
However, Left Party official Ida Gabrielsson reiterated her party's demand for cabinet seats, responding on social media that "S and C know that we cannot say yes to this."
