Åkesson: We can change the colossus from the inside

In the afternoon was the SD leader Jimmie Åkesson to its annual vårtal at Långholmen in Stockholm, the seventh in the order since 2013. Åkesson, criticized ”the Europafientliga, centraliseringsivriga forces in Brussels” and urged voters to go and vote in the EUROPEAN elections.

– It is about our own existence as a nation, if our self-determination and the right to shape our future. The people of europe want to continue solving common problems together, but without losing the self-evident right to be masters in their own house, " he said.

see the party, which previously ran the line for an EU exit, out to go against a big lift. According to the DN/Ipsos opinion poll published on Tuesday, may party 17 percent of the votes cast, an increase of over 7 percentage points compared with the elections in 2014.

During the century called Jimmie Åkesson members of the audience for ”pro-europeans” – after the speech, he says:

" this is very much a mobiliseringsval. Especially for us that have been so difficult for us to get our voters to the polls. Anyway, I have somewhere to instill the hope that if only enough people vote, both here in Sweden and in other parts of Europe, so we can actually change the colossus from the inside.

" I think that we need to cooperate in Europe. We must work together to solve climate change, we must work together to stop the international stöldligor. But we do not need this political union for it, we need no EU member state for it, we don't need a democratic parliament which enacts the laws for us.

group leader Mattias Karlsson, who is now instead focusing on building up a conservative think tank, was in place during the century. He describes how the party right now, press on the benefits of EU membership.

– the EU Today, as it looks today, we would really like to leave. But we recognize that the possibility does not exist. But it's all about long-term reform efforts along with like-minded people, and now so see this it also out, so that we can become a very strong force in Europe, " says Mattias Karlsson.

also moderate party in its electoral platform ahead of the european Elections. The party focused, among other things, on crime, migration and climate. They want to see that EU citizens who are sentenced to prison should be the penalty in their home countries, thus not necessarily where the crimes are being committed. Something like the SD-controller is positive.

" It should be a matter of course within the EU. We are not particularly positive to the free movement of people in the EU on the way we have it today, but it shall in that case be 100 per cent linked to particular labour market. It is so that EU citizens will come to Sweden and commit crimes then it is actually not Sweden's responsibility, but it is the other nationality that is responsible for the individual. So I am pleased that the Conservatives starting to sober up also in such issues, says Jimmie Åkesson.
