Sweden faces continued political uncertainty as the final election results are delayed and not yet clear. This comes amidst intensified maneuvers by major parties to form a government, with the Sweden Democrats reportedly grappling with internal dilemmas and potentially reconsidering their demands following a disappointing election performance.
The Social Democrats, led by Leader of the Opposition Magdalena Andersson, are actively planning for a government change and are expected to exert significant pressure on the Left Party in negotiations. Meanwhile, a reported schism within the government-supporting bloc has emerged, with Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch feeling let down by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
In other domestic news, the Speaker of the Riksdag, Andreas Norlén, faces an uncertain future, with indications that his tenure might be coming to an end. Separately, new reports reveal that Sweden's highest mountain, Kebnekaise, is diminishing in size.
