Sweden’s tight election contest carries a Russian shadow
The Economist reports that Sweden’s close election may not deliver the result sought by the populist-right Sweden Democrats, amid concerns about Russian influence.
Sweden is facing a tightly contested election in an atmosphere clouded by concerns over possible Russian influence, according to The Economist.
The report says the contest may not produce the outcome hoped for by the Sweden Democrats, a populist-right party.
The source describes a “Russian shadow” over the election but provides no further detail in the supplied material about the nature, source or evidence of the concerns.
No polling figures, election date, vote results or named actors were provided. The Sweden Democrats’ hoped-for result is also not quantified, leaving the scale of any potential shortfall unclear.
