daajis.com:- Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said that Swedes would be asked to vote again on March 22nd 2015. The last general election was in September 2014.
Löfven was pushing for increased spending on welfare and jobs and pledged to maintain Sweden’s liberal immigration laws in his budget.
But he failed to get enough support for the financial package because the nationalist Sweden Democrats – who hold the balance of power in parliament – chose to support a rival budget from Sweden’s centre-right opposition parties.
The government’s budget got 153 votes, whereas 182 politicians were in favour of the opposition’s budget, triggering a political crisis in the country.
Analysis: A new government by the Spring?
On Tuesday night Prime Minister Stefan Löfven attempted to negotiate with the four centre-right parties of the Alliance, that make up the previous government. But the talks broke up without a result.
Stefan Löfven said that he would resign rather than implement the opposition’s budget if it got voted through instead of his own.
Stefan Löfven’s coalition government won 37.9 percent of the vote in a general election on September 14th, making it the largest political bloc in parliament.
The nationalist Sweden Democrat party told The Local on Wednesday that it had used its ‘kingmaker’ role in reaction to the government’s pro-immigration policies.
“Sweden has most extreme immigration policy in Europe and the government wanted to make it more extreme,” said its acting leader Mattias Karlsson.
“We said we were willing to compromise convering a lot of other issues and we wanted to have talks with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister refused this.
He refused our demands and therefore this is the situation that occurred and I think the responsibility for that is solely the Prime Minister’s,” he added.
