Business groups criticise exclusion from Centre’s four-party meeting

Business and farming organisations have criticised being left out of Friday’s Centre-hosted briefing for the four red-green parties on Lidingö.

Företagarna, Almega and LRF told SVT they wanted to contribute. Företagarna chief Magnus Demervall said the guest list omitted the perspective of small and medium-sized businesses.

Almega stressed the importance of hearing the service sector, while LRF chair Palle Borgström pointed to food production and forestry. He also said LRF maintained contact with all parties and had recently held constructive talks with the Centre leadership.

Centre leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist has invited the Social Democrats, Greens and Left Party to hear outside briefings. The guest list includes the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, trade unions, economists and senior public officials.
