Sweden's outgoing PM wants to 'make Sweden great again'
- Outgoing Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson pledged cabinet posts to the Sweden Democrats for the first time ahead of the election, marking a significant shift from his 2022 deal that excluded them from government.
- Kristersson downplayed the move, stating, "There's nothing dramatic in that," while emphasizing the four coalition partners have been "cooperating successfully for the last four years" and now seek continued mandate.
- Opinion polls show the opposition left-wing bloc holding a strong lead ahead of Sunday's election, though the gap has narrowed. Kristersson told AFP his goal is "to make Sweden great again," echoing Donald Trump's famous slogan.
- Responding to revelations that a Sweden Democrat civil servant shared pro-Russian propaganda, Kristersson assured that including the party in government would "of course not" alter Sweden's support for Ukraine and NATO membership.
- The head of government described Sweden's transformation "from shootings to Spotify," emphasizing technology and defence industry growth. He declined to "negotiate ministerial posts before election results," deferring specific appointments until after voting.
