Sweden Holds High-Stakes Election Dominated by Migration, Crime, and Economic Issues

Summary

Swedes are voting in an election dominated by concerns over migration, crime, and the economy, with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's center-right party trailing the center-left Social Democrats. The hard-right Sweden Democrats, who have shifted towards the mainstream, are poised to potentially enter government if Kristersson's bloc wins, reflecting intensified debate over integration and rising crime rates.
