Three Swedish right-wing parties have agreed to form a government with unprecedented support in parliament from the far-right nationalist Sweden Democrats, Prime Minister-designate Ulf Kristersson announced on Friday, AFP and Reuters reported. , quoted by Agerpres.

“The (conservative) Moderates, the Christian Democrats and the Liberals will form a government and cooperate with the Sweden Democrats in parliament,” Kristersson, the leader of the Moderates, told a news conference.

The announcement came after the four-party bloc, which includes the Nationalist Party, won a slim majority of 176 out of 349 seats in Sweden’s unicameral parliament in the Sept. 11 election.

Thus, after eight years of Social Democratic rule, the right is back at the helm of Sweden thanks to an unprecedented approach to the SD, which was otherwise a big winner in the September 11 election with a record 20.5% of the vote.

Although he will not enter the government, an option rejected by other right-wing parties, the SD, led by Jimmy Akesson for 17 years, is the main parliamentary force in the new majority and second in the country with 73 seats in the legislature.

The moderates have 68 seats, the Christian Democrats 19 and the liberals 16, giving the right an absolute majority of 176 seats.

The new government, which is likely to be voted on on Monday, immediately announced a plan to build new nuclear reactors to meet growing demand for electricity in the Scandinavian country. Tax cuts are also expected.
