In a significant move within Swedish politics, Johan Nissinen, a current EU Parliament member from the Sweden Democrats, has announced his candidacy for the upcoming EU election under the banner of Folklistan.

Nissinen, who joined the EU Parliament in 2022, is known for his pragmatic approach, especially noted during his tenure in the parliament's industry committee.

His decision to stand with Folklistan was revealed during a press conference, marking a notable shift as he was previously positioned twelfth on the Sweden Democrats' list for the June 9 EU election.

This strategic realignment underscores the fluid dynamics of Swedish political affiliations as the EU elections approach.
