“SD: Therefore, we change our EUROPEAN policies,”
“I see advantages and disadvantages with the current EU cooperation, writes Jimmie Åkesson”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. For me, the issue of EUROPE has always been an extremely important issue, so important that it was one of the crucial reasons why I left the Moderate students and instead joined me for The sweden democrats for well over 20 years ago. “
“the EU as it is structured today, with an increasingly higher degree of supranationalism, will I always have to work against. Both when it is in conflict with my long-term vision of a Europe built on cooperation and free trade between independent nation states. But also because it undermines the actual portalparagrafen in the Constitution, that ”all public power in Sweden emanates from the people”. “
“It is the Swedish people who ultimately will decide how Sweden is governed, not bureaucrats in Brussels or other countries’ politicians that we can’t vote and that we cannot set aside.”
“But, in order to counter the current supranationalism need to be pragmatic and fully take advantage of the opportunities that are available. Today, we have since a time back in the uk the ruling party, the Whigs shaped group, the ECR (European Conservative and Reformists). “
“Where today we have a good cooperation with our nordic friends in the Dansk Folkeparti and the true finns. In a bureaucratic monsterbygge needed cooperation to achieve results and through the cooperation also improves the possibilities to reform the EU from the inside.”
“The sweden democrats has long been the clearest voice for the opinion, which is against the supranational EU. It will, of course, we continue to be. But in order to reach the long-term vision I have for Europe you will need to get there step by step. “
“A first step there is to the inside of the work to reduce and remove today’s supranationalism and instead bring back beslutandemakten to Sweden. If in the long term this does not succeed, I do not rule out that Sweden needs to renegotiate the terms of membership and conduct a new referendum.”
“When the other party stubbornly trying to portray the sweden democrats as a protectionist, and the end of the party, so it is a false picture, only meant to misrepresent and defame The sweden democrats as a party. We see both the advantages as well as disadvantages with the current EU cooperation.nnSverige need good terms of trade and the internal market. The dependence, however, is mutual. The EU also needs to Sweden with our strong expertise and our natural resources. That realization should give us strength and confidence in our actions for the Swedish interests in the EU. Sweden must be tougher, and act with greater self-confidence.”
“In other areas within the EU there are also major problems. Among other things, when it comes to the freedom of movement. It is not about any kind of diffuse protectionism. The single market with free movement of goods, services, capital and labour is crucial for our company’s continued well-being and competitiveness. “
“What it’s about is basically to level the playing field between countries and to Swedish conditions shall apply in Sweden. More difficult than it is not. The insight we have and the insight we intend to manage and develop.”
“The free movement also puts a deep negative imprint in people’s everyday lives in the form of organised begging, stöldligor, illegal immigrants, cross-border crime and terrorism. Set within this context, it should be every nation’s right to protect their borders, but to be governed by rules from Brussels. nnSamtidigt, this is an area where cooperation between countries in the form of exchanges between intelligence services, police jointly anchored operations and other types of practices that require co-ordination is a prerequisite. “
“To maintain the external border protection and thereby maintain the safety and security of our citizens is a typical example of a question of a global nature that require multilateral solutions. Environment – and climate policy is another. The EU must be able to see the dividing line between what is global and national issues, but to make a strong intervention in the respective nationalstats sovereignty when it comes to for example social welfare, foreign affairs, defense, taxation, and criminal policy.”
“On Wednesday next week I intend to before our national executive proposing an election manifesto, which takes its point of departure in precisely this. We utilize all the possibilities that are step-by-step return beslutandemakten to Sweden, but at the same time, safeguard the need of cooperation with our surroundings. “
“We shall make use of the opportunities that exist to achieve this, and while we are now waiting for the outcome of the Brexit, is a first step to get there to do it from within the EU stronghold in Brussels. Together with our friends. “
