Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has received guarantees at the EU summit in Brussels that Swedish bottleneck fees will only fund expansion of the Swedish electricity grid. The funds will not be used for European projects. Meanwhile, the EU emissions trading system is defended against calls for changes.
Thousands of farmers, including Swedes, protested in Brussels on December 18, 2025, against proposed EU cuts to the agricultural budget and the Mercosur trade deal. Swedish LRF members like Palle Borgström and Oona Heske joined the demonstrations during the EU summit. The protests involved around 10,000 participants, with some clashes near the EU parliament.
