Key Issues for Swedish Voters in 2024 EU Elections

Published: 2024-06-07

As the 2024 EU elections approach, Swedish voters are faced with a choice between various political groups, each with distinct priorities.

The EPP group, including the Moderates and Christian Democrats, focuses on European security and a balanced green transition.

The S&D group, aligned with Social Democrats, prioritizes job growth and climate neutrality by 2050. The liberal Renew group highlights security and EU expansion, while the Greens emphasize climate justice and phasing out fossil fuels by 2040. National identity and reducing EU power are the ECR group's main concerns, with the Left group aiming for net-zero emissions by 2040 without a common manifesto.
