Pressured by low opinion poll numbers, the Liberals present three new proposals that they hope will persuade uncertain voters to make up their minds.

On Kungsportsplatsen in Gothenburg, Johan Pehrson invites some young men to have candy with the instruction to be kind to their parents. He also invites them to three new points, or liberal proposals, in a so-called final sprint manifesto.

This is about reduced taxes for "green entrepreneurs" and electric cars, a European Swish for easily transferring money to all in the EU, and banning membership in criminal gangs throughout Europe.

According to the latest survey from Demoskop, the Liberals are at 3.1 percent, and thus risk not reaching the 4 percent barrier.

When asked if he is worried that the party that presents itself as Sweden's most EU-friendly party will be kicked out of the EU, he refers to other surveys and numbers. He then adds that there is always a certain worry in election times.

He also uses the low figure to get more people to vote for the party.

Pehrson mentions the joint climate work and joint efforts to increase security against Russia, China, and Iran.

Internationally, warnings are issued about disinformation and misinterpretations about how the election to the EU parliament works. Even if it's not anything new, disinformation has escalated in recent years, according to Pehrson.
