With the announcement of a possible entry of the Sweden Democrats (SD) into the government, Kristersson has opened the door to a party that has so far played a supporting role to the minority coalition, even though it became the second-largest political force in the country in the last elections, right behind the Social Democrats. He specified that if his four-party coalition wins a majority, the SD would gain significant political participation and important ministries, particularly in the areas of immigration and integration. At a joint press conference with SD leader Jimmie Åkesson, Kristersson, whose rating after four years in power is not favorable, stated: "We have agreed to accelerate the start of the next term and form a strong majority government if we gain the trust of the voters." This message has been marked as a turning point in Swedish politics, given that the SD, a party with neo-Nazi roots, has so far largely been treated as a political pariah. Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar reacted sharply, stating that the possibility of the Sweden Democrats entering the government with the Moderates is "disgusting" and called on political leaders to "rethink once again." "Now a lot is at stake, and we now know that we could have right-wing extremists as ministers in the government," she told Nyheter. Since the SD surpassed the Moderates in 2022 to become the second-largest force and entered the role of supporting Kristersson's coalition, the party has had a significant influence on government policies, especially in the area of immigration. The rhetoric of the SD has shaped the course of other parties as well, so even the Social Democrats, as the main opposition force, have adopted stricter positions on migration and integration, similar to the social democrats in Denmark under the leadership of Mette Frederiksen.
