The rise of far-right parties, gang violence and a strict immigration policy are among the main concerns for Swedish voters, who head to the polls on Sunday.
Sweden heads to the polls on September 11 in an election that could see a once-shunned far-right populist party make significant inroads, and with the help of right-wing opposition parties, even dislodge the ruling left-wing Social Democrats from power.
“I’m quite concerned about the rise of the far-right parties in this election,” said Nathalie Johansson, 35, an IT consultant based in Stockholm.
“Six months back, if you asked me what my main concern about the upcoming election was, I would have said it is how governments plan to address climate change. But right now, the far right’s power is worrying many of us,” she told DW.
