Swedish Politics Rocked by Scandals

Published: 2024-10-10

This autumn has been marked by a series of political scandals in Sweden, affecting several major parties.

The Left Party faced backlash after some of its politicians were found spreading antisemitic content online, leading to internal debates and the departure of two members.

Meanwhile, the Social Democrats have been embroiled in a scandal involving unethical lottery sales practices, crucial for their funding, which has surprisingly not led to a significant drop in voter support.

The Moderates, however, seem to have weathered the storm surrounding their former leader without losing voter confidence.

The Sweden Democrats are also under scrutiny, with controversies surrounding their leader's social circles and a legal case against Richard Jomshof, which has yet to impact their voter base.

As these scandals unfold, the upcoming voter surveys will reveal whether these controversies will finally sway public opinion.
