00:00Kaisa, what do you think? Is this all about migration?
00:04It's one of the key concerns that voters have raised when they talk about casting their vote for the right.
00:10Do you think that migration is amplifying people's concerns and that's why the right is resonating?
00:19Well, I think it's very interesting.
00:21First of all, that the comrade doesn't really know what government we have in Sweden,
00:25because in Sweden we have a right-wing government, the Conservatives.
00:28For you, it's a right-wing. Not for me.
00:30The supporting party is the extreme right-wing party, Sweden Democrats.
00:34They are not a part of the government.
00:37Now, the second thing I think is important to note here,
00:42is that we noticed that the right-wing comrade here from Poland has not said anything about the economy.
00:48And I think that's very significant.
00:51Because if you roll back 20 years, the right-wing project was basically only about economy.
00:57That was their main argument.
00:59They were saying, we need to privatize, we need to deregulate, we need to sell out the public sector.
01:06Now, that was a big failure, and we all know it.
01:09We all know that was a big failure because we didn't have a single privatization that worked.
01:14Now, to avoid talking about this, to avoid economic discussion about the huge gaps that we have now,
01:22and in Sweden, the gaps between rich and poor are growing the fastest.
01:26So, the security process, then...
01:27Yeah.
