Moderates offer tax and land-use concessions to Centre, sources say
Tax cuts, forest ownership rights and looser shoreline protection are among the concessions reportedly offered by the Moderates as they seek Centre Party support for a new Swedish government.
The details come from unnamed Moderate sources speaking to TV4 Nyheterna. They describe the contents of Ulf Kristersson’s offer, rather than an agreement accepted by Centre.
Kristersson declined to disclose the package when speaking to reporters on Friday. He described its direction as centre-right reform, naming economic policy, growth and welfare.
TV4 reports that the Liberals and Christian Democrats also participated in the negotiations. It gives no proposed tax rates, detailed changes to shoreline rules or timetable for legislation.
The Centre Party has confirmed receiving offers from both Kristersson and Social Democrat leader Magdalena Andersson. It will assess policy alongside cabinet membership and parliamentary support.
The reported concessions show what the Moderates are putting into that contest. They do not establish a new tax entitlement, changed land-use permission or a settled coalition.
