In a significant political shift, Simona Mohamsson, leader of the Liberals, has voiced her renewed support for collaborating with the Sweden Democrats (SD). In an interview published on August 20, 2025, Mohamsson described the current collaboration with SD as "functioning well," marking a departure from the party's previous stance that excluded any government participation alongside SD.
Although the Liberals had historically resisted working with SD, Mohamsson indicated that they are now open to re-evaluating this decision, though she did not elaborate on what future collaborations might entail. "We belong to the bourgeoisie," she asserted, reinforcing the party's position within the center-right political bloc while acknowledging the distinct differences that still exist between the two parties.
Previously, as a prominent figure in the youth organization of the Liberals, Mohamsson was known for her opposition towards any alliance with SD. Her recent comments suggest a notable evolution in her and the Liberal party’s political approach as they navigate the complexities of coalition dynamics in Sweden’s current political landscape.
