Then Germany, Sweden on the brink of a historic election that could bring the far-right to government

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 09:50

Sweden is on the brink of a historic election that could represent a significant shift in the country's politics, following Germany. The dispute between the left and right blocs is practically tied just one day before the elections, creating uncertainty about the final outcome.

The article indicates that a victory of the right-wing bloc could place the Swedish Democrats in government for the first time. This far-right party has been gaining ground in the polls and could now have the opportunity to join the executive.

The context is one of a broader European trend, where far-right parties have been growing in various countries on the continent, including Germany, which also recently held elections marked by significant results for similar political forces.

Why this matters

This article is relevant for Lusophone readers interested in European politics, as it documents a broader trend of rise of the radical right on the continent, after Germany. A Swedish government supported by the far-right would alter the political balance in the EU and could influence decisions on migration, European integration and foreign policies, areas that directly affect European citizens.

In a ruling issued this Saturday (12), Gilmar Mendes reiterated the request for copies of the media to be provided urgently, should the rapporteur Justice André Mendonça's office not make them available, requesting them from the Federal Police if necessary. According to Mendes, this measure will allow for a more complete deliberation and enable each justice to form their opinion based on a full analysis of the evidentiary record. On Friday (11), after demands from Justice Cristiano Zanin, André Mendonça had warned that disclosing the full material could compromise ongoing operations.
