Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers said that Sweden may consider leaving the EU if the centralization of power in Brussels increases

Charlie Weimers, a Swedish MEP and vice president of the European Conservatives and Reformists, believes that Sweden should consider leaving the EU if the transfer of power to Brussels goes "too far". This was reported by Euractiv, according to UNN.

The EU is a political project that is moving in the wrong direction 

- said Charlie Weimers at a meeting of his party "Swedish Democrats".

He emphasized that he is not ready to advocate for Sweden's immediate withdrawal from the EU, but leaves open the possibility of leaving if circumstances change. For example, if the veto in the European Council is abolished and excessive powers are transferred to Brussels.

"Then I call for an immediate Swexit," Weimers said.

However, the MEP acknowledges that the overwhelming majority in Sweden still supports the country's membership in the EU.

According to Weimers, only one in ten people wants to leave, so "out of respect for people's opinions, the Sweden Democrats are not in favor of leaving," he said.
