Sweden's decision to approve the Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the U.

S. has sparked a wave of concerns.

Critics argue that this voluntary agreement, cited as part of NATO membership, undermines Sweden's sovereignty and turns the nation into a strategic base for U.

S. military operations.

The DCA allows American forces to move freely within Sweden, raising fears of potential misuse of power.

Calls for a referendum to involve citizens in this crucial decision have grown louder, emphasizing the democratic implications of such a move.
