Sweden Democrats seek to review EU strategy, set stage for 'Swexit'
Sweden Democrat leader Jimmie Akesson and MEP Charlie Weimers have published an opinion piece calling for a reevaluation of Sweden's relationship with the European Union (EU).
The national-conservative party aims to limit further power transfers to the EU and enhance Sweden's influence to achieve more favorable negotiation outcomes. They argue that Sweden's excessive compromises in Brussels have eroded the core of Swedish democracy, and propose measures such as implementing a "referendum lock" law, preparing for a potential "Swexit," and investigating ways to minimize the EU's negative effects.
Although the Sweden Democrats previously advocated for Swexit, they have toned down their anti-EU stance in recent years to foster alliances with center-right allies.
Critics contend that the party has abandoned its principles and shifted positions on various issues.
