Busch Thor SD-vengeance divides the Christian democrats

just Over the 1,200 democrats gathered in Örebro, sweden at the weekend to discuss the kommunpolitik and recharge before the EU elections in may.

a completely different issue discussed and opinions differ. Last week gave the party the news that the KD open for calls and possibly also in negotiations with The sweden democrats in the riksdag.

Ebba Busch Thor put a large part of his inaugural speech in Örebro on Friday to defend the decision that deviates from the promises she and other partiföreträdare issued for the election. She said that the last eight years of attempts to isolate The sweden democrats, led to the isolation themselves.

– Ringdansen around the SD has prevented governments from ruling and opposition from the opposition. Voters 'confidence in the policy's ability has dropped," she said from the stage.

Ebba Busch Thor stressed that the only organized cooperation, the party is it with the Conservatives and that she has the ambition to resume an intergovernmental cooperation with the Centre party and the Liberals. At the same time, there is a concern among partiföreträdare that the decision to increase the distance to the C and L and complicate the reunification.

heavy duty names behind it.

– The Swedish public debate has resembled some kind of contest about who was the most against the SD. Now do not want to be with for a long time. It has placed the SD in the center and then let them set the agenda. I think our constituents expect that we are trying to push through the policies we went to the election on, say, the EU-candidate Sara Skyttedal.

Several partiföreträdare pointing out a specific issue where the KD and the SD would be able to find a consensus: the care and care of the elderly.

" There has been a consistency in the perception of priorities in the questions. When it comes to our proposal to re-nationalize the healthcare system so has SD had an openness to discuss, " says Lars Adaktusson, a member of parliament.

He also points to the foreign affairs relating to the Middle east, religious persecution, and Israel, which unites the parties, while the perception of Nato and the EU diverge.

the Risk that the party will lose voters after the announcement, like the Conservatives did when the then party leader Anna Kinberg Batra, gave notice of the approach to SD in January 2017, was one of the things that was discussed before the decision is made. It was also one of the risks to the party itself pointed to.

the Party stresses that there is a broad consensus behind the decision. But there was partitoppar as reserved, the five powers, and two in the league of those who attended. The party ekonomiskpolitiske spokesperson Jakob Forssmed and EU candidate David Lega, municipal commissioner in Gothenburg, are two examples.

KD to combat ideologies like the sweden democrats. He has still not landed in exactly how he stands, but would have liked more time before a decision.

– We discussed this for many hours, it is not black or white. How we are fighting xenophobia the best? It is not to talk to them, or is it to talk with them? says David Lega.

There are also objections further down in the party. Several local politicians that DN talked with do not want their party to have something with SD that make. There is a concern that the negotiations in the parliament in the term means a step closer to the SD, both at the level of the state and the municipality.

" I don't want to have any cooperation with The sweden democrats. They have a lot to prove before they are a humane party that they can collaborate with, " says a local politician.

Ebba Busch Thor on the SD-cooperation: ”I have changed your mind.”
