The Social Democrats want to amend the EU Treaty and make it possible to exclude member states that do not live up to the Union’s demands for a democracy.
– The EU is a community of values and we must make the union democratic, party leader Magdalena Andersson said at a press conference in Gothenburg on Wednesday, ahead of her May Day speech in the city.
The opposition leader also said she wants to make it easier for the EU to withhold money from countries that undermine democratic values and, in the next step, introduce a sanctions ladder where the EU can cut off countries from other benefits of membership, such as the Schengen cooperation.
When asked how this should be done in practical terms, Magdalena Anderssson replied that the first step is to form opinions and get more countries to join the list of demands.
The S leader finally had to answer which countries she considered had raised the need for this new penalty scale within the EU community:
– Poland and Hungary, said Magdalena Andersson.
