Thursday, 04 July 2013
Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt went on fierce attack against the Swedish far right party, the Sweden Democrats in his speech in Almedalen, at the Swedish political retreat in Visby on the island of Gotland.

In a very confident mood, the Prime Minister spent the first part of his speech to talk about youth unemployment and job initiatives but swiftly went hard on the Sweden Democrats and their xenophobia obsession.

Reinfeldt told Sweden Democrats without mentioning it by name, calling it "the Eighth Party," which "should not be included," in the Swedish political debate but should be isolated
"They want to divide us as people and increase suspiciousness in the community, "he said.
"Our answer is: You shall not have any influence, "said Fredrik Reinfeldt.
Then he criticized the leader of the Social Democrats, Stefan Löfven for not being clear on his stance on Sweden Democrats, but praised former Social Democrats-leader, Mona Sahlin's for having a strong standpoint.

"Hum, and silence is not the answer to xenophobia, "he said and referred to information which he has asked the red-green if they becomes larger but do not get a majority, the four centre-right parties would have to allow them to form a government so as to keep the far rights away from power.

The Prime Minister attacked the Red-Green opposition coalition parties and accused them of not being sufficiently prepared to take power.
"It's new times now, you need to prepare yourselves with others, "he said, referring in particularly to the Moderate's 30 percent in the opinion polls being enough to ask for full power.
Among the more concrete proposals, Reinfeldt announced that he wants to fold Skr3 billion to lower unemployment insurance contribution and increased unemployment benefits and job training for young people.

Reinfeldt pointed out that the scheme to lower voluntary unemployment insurance contribution fees proposed and money for positions to introduce young people into jobs market is a result of the job pact he promised a year ago.

"We deliver what we have promised to get young people into work, "he said, stressing that the lower fees for unemployment from 2014 means that the 2.3 million unemployment insurance members receive between Skr45 and Skr255 more in your pocket each month.
"It's our way to show that it pays to work, "he said, and hoped that more now joins the UIF scheme.

He said, however, nothing about why the government felt it was right to sharply increase the contribution fees in 2008, which is estimated to have led to nearly 400,000 people going out and many refrained from joining the UIF.
