Parliamentary election: Sweden before the election: Change of power or new taboo break?
Gang war, migration, tough penalties: Before the parliamentary election in Sweden, the handling of gang crime is again causing discussion. Prime Minister Kristersson is fighting to stay in power.
Sweden is holding parliamentary elections on Sunday, with around eight million people eligible to vote. The election is a close contest between the centre-right coalition of Ulf Kristersson, which includes Conservatives, Christian Democrats, and Liberals, and the left-wing bloc led by Social Democrat Magdalena Andersson. The campaigns have focused on issues such as migration, gang crime, and energy supply, with Kristersson's coalition seeking to maintain power and Andersson's bloc pushing for change.
If Kristersson's coalition wins, it may include the far-right Sweden Democrats in the government for the first time in Swedish history.
