In a recent debate article published on June 11, 2025, Tidöpartierna, led by Johan Pehrson, has launched a pronounced critique of Socialdemokraterna's proposed economic and security policies. They assert that a potential return to power for Socialdemokraterna would lead to a dangerous leftward shift, significantly harming Sweden's economy and security. The article argues that the policies proposed by Socialdemokraterna could decrease the nation's GDP by around nine percent, resulting in approximately 600,000 fewer worked hours annually and 11,000 job losses.
The Tidöpartierna leaders criticized Socialdemokraterna for not implementing more stringent immigration policies during their eight years in government, claiming that their recent attempts to address public concerns are inadequate and reactive. They highlighted previous Socialdemokraterna initiatives, including a controversial housing tax that would raise household costs by 6,400 kronor yearly and increased capital taxes that align with the objectives of the Miljöpartiet and Vänsterpartiet.
Additionally, Tidöpartierna pointed to issues of rising asylum immigration as further complicating the integration of newcomers, leading to greater social exclusion. They contend that Socialdemokraterna's strategy of relocating individuals from disadvantaged communities to wealthier areas is ineffective and not backed by public opinion. Furthermore, Tidöpartierna warns that aligning with leftist parties could lead to drastic tax increases and a failure to maintain Sweden's security, referencing alarming calls within these parties to reconsider Sweden's NATO membership.
Citing global challenges, such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and pressure from the US economic landscape, Tidöpartierna underscores the necessity for Sweden to adopt stable, growth-oriented policies. They commit to reducing asylum immigration, tackling crime, and managing escalating energy prices. Notably, they advocate for infrastructure investment and enhancing national defense, citing their success in reducing inflation from over ten percent to two percent as evidence of effective governance. The article concludes by asserting Tidöpartierna's dedication to fostering a wealthier and safer Sweden amidst these uncertainties.
