PODCAST: Tensions rise in Swedish politics as crucial election looms
A weekly, behind-the-scenes look at the biggest news stories in Sweden with the journalists who know them best. Every Saturday with The Local Sweden.
In the latest episode of our Sweden in Focus podcast, host Paul O’Mahony is joined by The Local’s James Savage, Becky Waterton and Richard Orange, Emma Löfgren and her new baby.
This week we turn our attention to a failed attempt by the right-wing opposition parties to oust the justice minister Morgan Johansson, the key role played in his survival as minister by the independent member of parliament Amineh Kakabaveh, and what it all means for the upcoming election.
We also examine the election prospects of the Christian Democrats whose leader Ebba Busch we interviewed this week.
And we discuss what you need to think about if you’re moving to a new address in Sweden.
