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.
Sounds like the best Viking stock came to Minnesooota.
Think this type of SUICIDAL thinking doesn’t exist in the USA? Check out this amazing DHS video..!

I met a French lady at a bar in San Francisco and asked her what she thought of the foreign “onslaught” of her homeland.
She remarked in a slurred, Franco-American accent...”What ‘vill be, ‘vill be...(c’est la vie) vee are true Liberals, we do not judge and do not care...it is to be truly free when you do not have any prejudices and life...just happens.”
I asked her that if the invaders had their way, there would be no freedom for anyone, especially women or Christians...she smiled, took a sip of her cocktail and said,, “It doesn’t bother me at all, they are people and want to express themselves, too.”
I then realized that Liberalism and Socialism are pathological and suicidal mental disorders, paid my tab and waved “bon voyage.”
I wonder if these asshats are going to be touting this line of immigrant butt kissing after they get the news about Norway? Probably, because liberals are stupid and never learn from their mistakes.
Don’t be too sure about that. They elected Al Franken .
One’s first reaction is “Swedes will be Swedes,” but upon further thought, the lemon-sized burning sensation behind the breastbone grows to grapefruit size when one considers that the Swedes are abetting this behavior. The entire West has it’s collective heads in the sand. We’re under attack and no one will see it. sd
My son is Christian, but attends a Jewish preschool (play based, but they get some Old Testament/Hebrew things thrown in now and again).
I want him out of there this Fall, my wife worries my son will be upset, but frankly, there is an Islamic Center 0.9 miles away.
My wife doesn’t read the news and frankly thinks we have no control, so why worry about it...
I want him out of there, school starts in September.
The Bikini Team can stay eh!
You are the head of your household. Get him out. I will pray for your victory.
UNLESS you have a really incredible liking for fish.
To keep things in perspective there are MORE persons of Scandinavian descent in the USA than in Scandinavia ~ and that is by type, kind, nationality, and history of longevity in the Fenno Scandian Peninsula (which includes chunks of Russia).
None of us are going back ~ except for summer vacations ~
These are the ones with blood on their hands for the events in Norway.
These people who did this all the way back to the 1950’s need to held accountable.
The 30 children who were slaughtered today; died because of these bastards who insisted on immigration policies that sought to destroy their Western cultures.
Bastards.
Sweden is doomed and doomed bad -
Reading this is like reading Alice in Wonderland.
A synonym for settler is colonizer. Colonizers don’t assimilate, they dominate.
Instead of honoring this woman, she should be arrested for treason.
