Andersson sets conditions for Left Party ministers

Magdalena Andersson says the Left Party must take further measures before joining a government, but she will not disclose what she is asking it to change.

The Social Democrat leader told TV4 on Wednesday that sensitive discussions with the party should remain private until there was a result to announce.

Left deputy leader Ida Gabrielsson said Andersson had not made the demands clear. Talks remain deadlocked over the Left Party’s demand for ministerial posts, which the Centre Party opposes.

Andersson expects to lose Thursday’s prime-ministerial vote. She told SVT Kristersson should then get the chance to explore forming a government as leader of the second-largest party.
