Muharrem Demirok, leader of the Center Party, is reshaping the party's identity towards a social-liberal stance.
At Almedalen, Demirok spoke about embracing a “warm liberalism” and introduced an obligatory “new start year” for immigrants to boost integration and employment.
Social Democrat Tobias Baudin attended Demirok's speech, signaling potential collaboration between the two opposition parties.
Center Party's proposal aims to address social exclusion, targeting immigrants who have been in Sweden for at least three years without employment.
This initiative aims to integrate immigrants through education, practical training, and eventual job placement, estimated to cost 2.5 billion kronor annually.
