7 Speeches

There are no direct references to cooperation or a willingness to compromise. The potential "change of colors" (or shift in stance) by the Social Democrats on the immigration issue is noted, but this is primarily used to confirm one's own position (the zero quota) and to welcome common sense in parliament.
