Leaders of Sweden's Social Democrats and Sweden Democrats, Magdalena Andersson and Jimmie Åkesson, faced off in an intense duel on SVT's Aktuellt Wednesday evening. The debate covered social media troll factories, high unemployment, and integration policy ahead of the 2026 election. Both accused each other of hypocrisy and political theater in a confrontation that benefits their parties.
Parliamentary member Katja Nyberg has left the Sweden Democrats after tests showed narcotics in her blood during a police stop, but she will remain in parliament as an independent. The party views the expulsion as obvious given their emphasis on law and order. Nyberg was recruited from the police in 2018 but never became the asset the party hoped for.

The Social Democrats have filed a complaint with Sweden's parliamentary constitutional committee (KU) against Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) for his handling of SD MP Katja Nyberg's positions in oversight councils following drunk driving suspicions. The party criticizes the week-long delay before Nyberg was relieved of her duties. Strömmer should have acted more promptly as the responsible minister, according to the complaint.
Sweden Democrat Unni Björnerfors returns to parliament as a substitute and has spread claims on social media that covid vaccines are a "deadly poison" and genocide. The party calls her posts sleazy and silly. She is replacing Angelika Bengtsson during parental leave.
