This week on The Open Door we travel to Sweden! The American Solidarity Party draws on the Christian Democracy movement. Our guest this Wednesday is Lennart Sacrédeus. Representing the Sweden's Christian Democrats (KD), he has served as a Member of Parliament in Sweden and as a Member of the European Parliament. Currently he is Speaker/Mayor of the city of Mora. We will pose the following questions to him. As always, we invite you to send your own.
1. Could you tell us about the Swedish Christian Democrats (KD) and what the party stands for? We’d like to know about its history and its membership.
2. Has your party been able to collaborate with other groups of Christian Democrats in Europe?
3. What similarities do you see between your party and the American Solidarity Party?
4. Has the KD learned lessons that you would like to share with us?
5. Does the KD have current projects that we might borrow and develop here?
6. The KD has a special focus on the elderly. How have the elderly in Sweden, especially in care homes, fared during the COVID crisis?
7. What are your goals as Speaker/Mayor of Mora?
8. Christian Democrats, given the long race they must run, need energy! Can you give us a recipe for Blueberry soup?
