Swedish aid should have democracy and human rights as its starting point and goal. At least one percent of gross national income (GNI) should be allocated to international aid. This is what the Christian Democrats write on their website.
At the same time, the Tidö government has reduced aid and stated that Sweden's international aid should benefit Swedish interests. Now the comrades in the Tidö Cooperation are also talking about further cuts to the aid budget.
Why should Sweden have aid and how far are the Christian Democrats willing to compromise with aid?
These are some of the questions we ask as FUF continues our Instagram Live series where we ask the parliamentary parties' aid policy spokespersons what their parties want with aid.
In the sixth conversation in the series, we ask Christian Democrats' Gudrun Brunegård, Member of Parliament and development aid policy spokesperson.
