Liberal leader Johan Pehrson expressed difficulty in envisioning a scenario where his party would allow the Sweden Democrats (SD) to join a future government.
Pehrson emphasized that the current partnership with SD focuses on addressing significant societal issues but maintained the party's stance against SD's inclusion in the government.
Despite pressures and ultimatums from SD leader Jimmie Åkesson, Pehrson believes alternative government formations are possible.
The internal discourse within the Liberal party remains robust, with some local leaders open to reevaluating their position in the future.
However, Pehrson firmly stands by the decision not to include SD in a government they are part of, emphasizing responsibility towards Sweden.
