The Social Democrats and Greens have accepted the Centre leader’s meeting with the Christian Democrats, while the Greens urge the four parties backing Magdalena Andersson to move forward together.

Speaking to Aftonbladet, Social Democrat economic spokesperson Mikael Damberg described contacts between parties as reasonable and said he looked forward to Friday’s Centre-hosted briefing.

Green economic spokesperson Janine Alm Ericson said she saw no problem with the meeting, but questioned how a centrist government would work. She argued that the four parties supporting Andersson should proceed together.
