At a press conference on Thursday, resigning Centre Party head and minister for enterprise and energy, Maud Olofsson, revealed that her speech at Almedalen later this evening will point out the three top priority challenges for the Centre Party to tackle in the future.
"I get extremely depressed when I see how poorly we've managed integration. I'm so tired of hearing about immigrants being stigmatised and described in solely negative terms, such as unemployment and criminality," said Olofsson.
The first challenge therefore is making Sweden a "settler country", where immigrants are welcomed, and invited to help make Sweden strong.
The second challenge is creating a Sweden where entrepreneurs can blossom, and small innovative companies can grow.
The third challenge, according to Olofsson, is creating a green and sustainable Sweden.
"Interest in environmental issues is dropping, while carbon dioxide emissions continue to grow. It seems we can only discuss one thing at a time."
Olofsson also presented an open letter to her successor, and to her colleagues in the centre-right alliance. In her letter they are encouraged to cherish those agreements the alliance has made, particularly within energy politics. Olofsson points out that this was the most difficult deal to make, for the Centre Party.
She also reminds them that one of the central point behind the political alliance was that all the parties should be able to contribute and gain from the cooperation.
"I think a great challenge from here on will be to make sure that all four parties are visible and continue to grow," writes Olofsson.
"Everyone has to feel that they have something to gain from this cooperation."
Within the Centre Party there has recently been some discontent with the Moderate Party's overbearing role in the alliance.
Olofsson did not want to criticise the Moderates at the press conference, however, nor did she express concern that her successor would not cherish the alliance cooperation, instead explaining that she simply wrote the open letter to ensure that the "original sentiment" behind the cooperation is preserved.
Her speech on Thursday evening will be her tenth and last at Almedalen. At the press conference Olofsson fought to contain her tears when speaking of her decade as Centre Party leader.
"I'm grateful to have been a part of the political world, and to have been allowed to lead the Centre Party and Sweden. But now it feels good to be handing over the relay baton," she said.
At the end of the press conference Olofsson was unable to hold back her tears, and had to ask her staff for a handkerchief.
"The first challenge therefore is making Sweden a "settler country", where immigrants are welcomed, and invited to help make Sweden strong.
The second challenge is creating a Sweden where entrepreneurs can blossom, and small innovative companies can grow.
The third challenge, according to Olofsson, is creating a green and sustainable Sweden."
I suppose the Scandanavians and the rest of Europe (and America) can just sharpen the knives of their invaders...clean, sharp knives cause a lot less suffering and pain than dull, rusty ones.
The disease of creeping Sha'ria with unchecked Liberalism is rearing its ugly head across the globe.
Frankly a far better idea would be to ship the Norse back where they came from and give Sweden back to the true native people ~ the Sa’ami.
The second challenge is creating a Sweden where entrepreneurs can blossom, and small innovative companies can grow.
The third challenge, according to Olofsson, is creating a green and sustainable Sweden.
Mutually exclusive 'goals.'
Someone really should tell Maud that these “settlers” are not interesting in integrating into Swedish society, that want to transform it into theirs’.
I know there are some who will criticize this idea of rolling back Scandinavian history to the days of King Frosti, but somebody's got to do it.
As bad as these Norse are, they are proposing bringing in a bunch of Arabs, and I know there were NO ARABS there when Sweden was still a frozen wasteland.
Minister Olaffson should be banished to evangelize some dessert hellhole by his Swede countrymen.
I think an era of ultra-nationalism is coming. I think Anglos are waking up across the globe and realizing that they are supporting over half the world with the sweat of their brow...and the beneficiaries hate us anyway.
It’s time to move on to self-supporting nation-states.
with the massacre in Norway, this guy gets the
“bad timing of the year” award !
(close second to Obama, for:
“Administration officials say Obama on Friday signed a certification ending the 17-year-old “don’t ask don’t tell” policy.”
on the same day as:
“LEAKED: U.S. defense officials deliberately skewed survey results to sway ‘Don’t Ask’ repeal
According to an explosive document, investigators from the U.S. military’s top investigative office found evidence that a Pentagon survey pivotal to the [DADT] repeal was engineered months prior to its release, ...”
A rather interesting fact from the Centre Party’s page on Wikipedia:
“...its 1933 programme call[ed] for preservation of the Swedish people from any interference of foreign inferior racial elements and opposition of immigration to Sweden by unwanted strangers.”
You don’t want the Muzzies feeling uncomfortable while they get a strangle hold on you. Just ask a hardcore Muslim, other people’s culture, spirituality and history is inferior to Islam.
Our Buttwipe-in-Chief aspires to be precisely like this buttwipe.
(The “entrepreneur” stuff is said for effect and is not an actual goal at all.)
I support the green Sweden because they love their beautiful country. I have been there.
HOWEVER, the immigrant loving mentality is deeply engrained in them much to their demise. I was on the train from Gothenburg to Stockholm sitting with an elderly couple and I remarked about how the muslims have destroyed Malmo, and they both were horrified at what I said. How dare I say something about those poor immigrants, they were to be welcomed no matter what.
When you live in a country nearly devoid of crime you just don’t understand crime and criminals I guess.
their friggin buttwipes out do our friggin buttwipes...unbelievable...

It is the same perverse ideology, but it has been eroding Europe for a couple more generations. Western Europe is so rotted now that it is liquid.
We should be easing away from them, and towards the former Warsaw Pact nations and India.
What about the Nenderthals?
I'd be satisfied if they just gave the country back to the Bikini Team.
Gee... I hope this doesn’t sound harsh, but Maud Olofsson sounds like a complete idiot. She’s not just a couple beers short of a 6-pack, she’s not even the flimsy cardboard container.
Looks like Maud has a case of Stockholm syndrome. Her Viking ancestors have to be spinning in their graves over the complete, total Wussification of Sweden.
where immigrants are welcomed, and invited to help make Sweden strong. ................................................ Want to make Sweden strong, invite the Swedes and brother Scandinavians who left the lands of the Norse over the years. We have plenty here that would probably return if things don’t change here soon. Länge leve Sverige!
“The first challenge therefore is making Sweden a “settler country”, where immigrants are welcomed, and invited to help make Sweden strong.
going to be a pretty big challenge after what just happened next door today
