Radio Sweden Weekly: Government forced into last-minute u-turn due to parliamentary uncertainty

28 min12 juni 2026

It's been a week of rising political temperatures in Sweden, with the government withdrawing one of its most high-profiled political proposals when they realised it may not get through parliament.

We also hear from the leader of the Centre Party, who this week announced which party is their favoured partner after the election, and check in on the Social Democrats to find out why they voted the way they did on the proposal to scrap permanent residency for certain groups.

This week also saw the start of the FIFA World Cup, with people in Sweden getting ready for that first match at 4 AM on Monday - or maybe not. And hear why Sweden's strawberry growers are nervously eyeing the weather forecast for this weekend.
