Dear Friend!
We're writing you because the new Swedish government, led by EPP and ALDE
parties, is implementing outrageous far-right policies! PLEASE READ AND
SHARE OUR MESSAGE!
Mélanie Vogel & Thomas Waitz
Co-Chairs of the European Green Party
“Sweden sadly follows a growing list of European countries where
conservative and liberal forces ally with the far-right to get into power.
These forces are implementing AN AGENDA OF NATIONALIST EGOISM, HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS, SOCIAL DIVISION AND CLIMATE DENIAL.
This is the exact opposite of what Europe needs in these challenging times.
WE NEED SOLIDARITY WITHIN AND ACROSS COUNTRIES TO FIGHT THE MULTIPLE CRISES
WE ARE FACING AND WE NEED TO PROTECT EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY AND FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS.”

BACKGROUND:
The Moderates (EPP), the Christian Democrats (EPP) and the Liberal Party
(ALDE) secured a minority government with the backing of far-right party
the Sweden Democrats (ECR).
The actions of conservatives show once again that they are willing to make
dangerous deals with the far-right. Their proposals include:
* A drastic reduction of the refugee quota
* A national ban on public begging
* Discriminatory laws for minorities, migrants and refugees
OUR POSITION:
As Greens, we extend our solidarity to all marginalised communities
targeted by these damaging and hateful policies. Our member party THE
SWEDISH GREENS (MILJÖPARTIET DE GRÖNA) will keep fighting for equal
rights and wellbeing for all, and continue to stand up against racism,
division and hate!
“SWEDEN IS AT RISK OF TREATING MINORITIES AND LESS ADVANTAGED PEOPLE AS
SECOND-CLASS CITIZENS. (...) WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST THESE
POLICIES WHICH ARE BUILDING WALLS BETWEEN PEOPLE, AND UNRAVELING THE
ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL CLIMATE ACTION.”
Märta Stenevi & Per Bolund
co-spokespersons of the Swedish Greens
