A multi-vehicle crash has closed the E4 highway, the country’s main arterial road. While details of the incident remain sparse, traffic across the region has come to an immediate halt.
Away from the gridlock, an investigative report into the Sweden Democrats’ youth wing has produced testimonies of sexual assault and harassment at its conferences. In the cabinet, the Minister for Gender Equality revealed she has undergone surgery for breast cancer discovered shortly after the election. Meanwhile, the leaders of the LRF farmers' association face claims they profited from interns who were allegedly required to be single and work for low wages.
The political stalemate continues as Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson leads a caretaker government months after his bloc lost its majority. Magdalena Andersson is still attempting to translate the left-leaning opposition’s narrow victory into a working coalition; for now, the administration remains as stationary as the E4.
