The new government will be composed of moderates, Christian Democrats and liberals, and the far-right Sweden Democrats will remain outside the coalition but offer a key position in parliament.
The 4 on Friday laid out a roadmap for their cooperation, outlining measures to tackle emerging crime, immigration, power politics, physical care, education and the economy.
“Change is not only necessary, but also possible, and all four of us can do it,” moderate Conservative leader Ulf Kristesson told reporters.
Parliament will vote Kristersson as the new prime minister on Monday and the incoming government is due to take office on Tuesday, just over a month after the right won a narrow victory in the general election that toppled the Social Democrats after 8 years in power.
The 4 right-wing parties combined hold 176 of the 349 seats in parliament.
Sweden’s nationalist and anti-immigration democrats, once pariahs on the Swedish political scene, were the big winners of the Sept. 11 vote.
They have become the largest party of the moment in the country with a record 20. 5% of the vote, the Social Democrats of outgoing Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, who have governed Swedish politics since the 1930s.
While far-right leader Jimmie Akesson said he “would have liked to have been in government,” he said the most important thing for his party, as the largest right-wing party, is to have influence in politics.
“We are going to put politics in position, especially in spaces that our electorate is very important, and the politics of criminals is one of those spaces,” he told reporters.
While the quartet presented a united front on Friday, they have historically split into a number of key political spaces and major concessions have been made in the deal, basically to address far-right demands.
Sweden has struggled to involve rising shootings and gang violence, and the roadmap calls for the arrival of visiting spaces in some disadvantaged spaces, harsher consequences for repeat offenders, double sentences for safe crimes and anonymous witnesses, all primary concessions through the petite liberal. party. .
The new government also plans to make deep cuts to Sweden’s generous refugee policy, reducing the number of refugees from the quota of 6,400 last year to 900 in line with its four-year mandate.
It will also abandon Sweden’s progression aid target of one consistent with one hundred of gross national source of income and introduce a national ban on begging.
The 4 parties also agreed not to cut unemployment benefits, a primary concession to the right through the moderates.
“What has been the most important for the Sweden Democrats is that replacing the government represents a paradigm shift,” Akesson said.
At the same time, the incoming also announced plans to build new nuclear reactors to meet the country’s developing electric power needs.
“New nuclear reactors will be built,” reports Christian Democrat leader Ebba Busch.
“We will fulfill our purpose of the Paris Agreement, but without destroying the finances of Swedish corporations and households. The long-term purpose is electrification and how nuclear power exists,” he said.
The Scandinavian country voted in a non-binding referendum in 1980 to phase out nuclear power.
The country has closed six of its 12 reactors in recent years and the rest, in 3 nuclear power plants, generate about 30 of the electrical energy used today in the country.
But it is struggling to locate the energy resources of my choice to upgrade nuclear power, as renovations still do not fully meet its needs.
The outgoing Social Democratic government, in place for eight years, has historically opposed the construction of new reactors, but declared earlier this year that nuclear power would be foreseeable for the foreseeable future.
Swedish energy organization Vattenfall announced in June that it was considering the option of building at least two small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs).
