Swedish budget: Will the government be able to pass its proposals?
The Moderate Party's economic policy spokesperson Elisabeth Svantesson has indicated a goal to present an alternative to the Swedish government's budget proposal, which could lead to a right-of-centre budget if passed. This situation mirrors events from 2018 when the Moderates and Christian Democrats' budget proposal was accepted before a minority government could form an alliance. With the collapse of the January Deal and the Liberal Party's shift towards a right-wing government, the current government's budget proposal faces uncertainty. The Centre and Left parties, whose support is crucial, have yet to confirm their stance, with issues such as 'family week' and forestry rights being contentious. Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson and Christian Democrat leader Ebba Busch have begun efforts to gather parliamentary support for an alternative budget. Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has stated he would resign if the budget fails, and his successor Magdalena Andersson, the current Finance Minister, faces a significant challenge if the budget is not passed.

Sweden sees nationalist rise in historically close elections
Sweden's anti-immigration party, the Sweden Democrats, is set to hold the second greatest number of seats in parliament after a historically close national election. With 94% of ballots counted, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's Social Democratic Party leads with nearly 30% of the votes, while Ulf Kristersson's Moderate Party trails with 19%. The Sweden Democrats have gained 20.6% of the votes, becoming the second-largest party. The election campaign focused on crime, public safety, and economic issues, with no party holding a majority in the 349-member Riksdag, necessitating cooperation among parties. The formation of a new government may take time, as seen in the 2018 elections.

Fact check: Which party is to blame for Sweden's historic high migration?
Sweden's two main political parties, the Social Democrats and the Moderates, are accusing each other of being responsible for the country's high levels of migration. The article examines the history of migration policy in Sweden, noting that the number of migrants rose sharply under the Moderate-led government from 2006-2014 and hit record levels during the Social Democrat-led government in the 2015-2016 migration crisis. Both parties have had periods of liberal migration policies, with significant laws and reforms enacted under each. The article also highlights the influence of major conflicts on migration patterns and the shift in both parties towards a more restrictive approach after 2014.
