Election Talks Sweden

Sweden parliamentary election will take place on the 11th of September this year. Following numerous changes and turnarounds, the national political scene has particularly changed since the last Riksdag election. Magdalena Andersson, current leader of the Socio Democrat party - the first women elected as Sweden’s Prime Minster - had to face several challenges throughout her mandate. Andersson is leading the smallest minority governments in Sweden’s history marked by inside instabilities, the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine’s invasion by Russia at a time when the country's foreign policy was taking a historic turn. In fact, Sweden took the decision of stepping into NATO on the 18th of May breaking up with its historic non-alignment policy.

 On this unpreceded political scene, the stakes are high.

• How will the Swedish electorate react in the voting booth?
• Which scenarios are to be expected and how will the balance between the different political parties operate?
• How will this impact the European political landscape?

Our experts will answer those questions and debate on this upcoming election.

We are delighted to invite you to join us on Thursday the 8th of September, for this webinar on our series Election Talks, proposed by Centre Kantar Public sur l’Europe.

We look forward to welcoming you.
