” We go against such a development if we do not get our house in order. It is clear that it is a failure. It is good that we have a freedom of movement for people and businesses in Europe, it has built our competitiveness. But we must look reality in the face, now we have so big problems.
It would be lovely if the Swedish parliament could act a little more like the european Parliament,
” It is clear that it is hard inside. This is at the core of european cooperation. But to win support for the free movement, then we need to restrict the free movement of criminals.

– In the Swedish parliament is very much about that either clarify how much you are against The sweden democrats or describe exactly in what way you will talk with The sweden democrats.

Tomas Tobé clear that he is prepared to negotiate wide – even with the sweden democrats ‘ group – to get through their policy.

In all the main scenarios, you talk about 90-190 per cent more nuclear power for that we should be able to save the climate
His goal is to become the rapporteur on an issue – to lead the work with the new legislation.
– Then you get to make an analysis of the groups, which is the closest to be able to reach a majority. Is it so that I could, for example, the use of ECR, that is to say, where The sweden democrats sitting and the british Tories are sitting there right now… Then I would not drag me to try to convince them of the legislation I want through.
” I think this is pretty important. Thus, we must begin to focus more on substantive issues, on legislation and obtaining the work.

– In all the main scenarios, you talk about 90-190 per cent more nuclear power for that we should be able to save the climate.
” We get to work both in the short and long term. We get to work with it to go fast now, that is to say, it’s renewable. But a first good step would be not to snabbavveckla nuclear power. Look at a country like Germany. Is it that nuclear energy, which are replaced only by renewable? No, now it is full load on coal power. Considering to become dependent on Russian gas.
– At the EU level, we have said that we should double the research, get up the next generation of nuclear power, may get more common standards. But it is clear that each member state should take responsibility for its energy mix.

of course, There is nothing to suggest that Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are headed in the right direction, but on the contrary,
