Swedish Election: Center-Left Holds Narrow Lead as Far-Right Stumbles

Preliminary results from Sweden’s 2026 general election show the center-left bloc led by Magdalena Andersson holding a narrow three-seat advantage over the ruling right-wing coalition. While the center-left is projected to win 176 of 349 parliamentary seats, the margin is razor-thin, with the far-right Sweden Democrats suffering their first electoral decline since 2010. Final results are pending, but the outcome may prevent the far-right from entering the cabinet for the first time in the current political era.

Geert Wilders' Election Win Sends Shockwaves Through Europe

Russian state television anchor praises the victory of Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders in the Netherlands' elections, highlighting his anti-Islam, anti-immigration, and anti-European Union platform that aligns with Russia's interests in its war on Ukraine. Wilders' win is seen as a setback for Ukraine, as he supports ending Dutch military aid to the country. The Kremlin-backed media outlet Sputnik attributes Europe's rightward political shift to sanctions on Russia and an influx of Ukrainian refugees. Wilders' party, the Freedom Party (PVV), won the most seats in the Dutch Parliament, and his connections to Russia have been scrutinized in the past. Dutch-Russian relations have been strained since the downing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in 2014.
