Stockholm Moderates Set No Red Lines for Power Shift as Sweden Democrats Demand Local Tidö Agreement

Stockholm’s Moderates are leaving the door open to outside support if the red-green governing coalition loses its majority in the election. The party has not drawn red lines around which parties it could turn to in order to vote out the current administration.

That position comes as the Sweden Democrats call for a local version of the Tidö agreement, the cooperation arrangement that underpins Sweden’s national government. The party wants a similar deal in Stockholm.

Yet Moderates group leader Christofer Fjellner says he sees no basis for cooperation with the Sweden Democrats to govern the capital. His statement leaves the party’s options open for a possible change of power while rejecting a formal governing partnership with SD.

Fjellner declined a follow-up interview to clarify the position.
