The invitation comes after Centerstudenter's chairman Rasmus Elfström in an interview opened for a dialogue with the SD.
The Center party's leadership has previously expressed dissociation from the SD, but Centerstudenter's new line is now sparking fierce debate within the party.
Denice Westerberg , chairman of Ungsvenskarna, expresses joy at Center students' initiative and sees opportunities to discuss common issues such as rural policy.
For the lunch menu, she suggests “a proper piece of meat”.
– Unlike many similar lunches where you usually get vegetarian salads, which I'm a bit tired of, so they can get a proper piece of meat, says Denice Westerberg to SvD.
Chairman of Centerstudents Rasmus Elfström, however, declines the lunch.
“We distance ourselves from their views and politics. Meeting more parties in a parliamentary democracy is not the same as having lunch with youth representatives,” he says in a written comment to SvD.
