Swedish the Social Democrats and the Left Party have reached an agreement on forming a government, say in Sweden an agreement on a new government has been tried on Tuesday night. Chairman of the Left Party Nooshi Dadgostar met with the chairman of the social democrats Magdalena Anderssonin.
Dadgostar left the meeting after a couple of hours without commenting on the talks. Andersson’s communications manager, on the other hand, told reporters waiting outside that “information is provided when there is something to report.”
In the evening, the Left Party wrote on its home page that it had reached an agreement on the pension issue with the Social Democrats.
“Pensions will be increased by SEK 1,000 a month, tax-free, for the 700,000 pensioners in the weakest situation,” the website says.
A parliamentary vote on the approval or rejection of the prime minister-designate will be held on Wednesday morning at nine o’clock, or ten o’clock in Finnish time. An agreement on a new government was hoped for before Wednesday’s vote.
