Elections in Sweden create a scenario of uncertainty

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 08:30

The legislative elections held this Sunday in Sweden did not produce a clear winner. The result leaves the country in a scenario of great political uncertainty.

The two main political blocs were practically tied at the end of the vote count, dividing the Scandinavian nation. This situation of equilibrium between political forces makes the formation of a new government a complex challenge.

Why this matters

The result leaves Swedes without clarity on who will govern the country in the coming years. The parties now face the challenge of negotiating coalitions to form a majority in the Riksdag, the Swedish Parliament. This uncertainty may affect political stability and government decisions in the coming months.

Judge from the Constitutional Court warns that constitutional courts "are being attacked"

The judge at the Portuguese Constitutional Court Maria Benedita Urbano warned that constitutional courts "are being attacked" given the rise of populism and authoritarianism in democratic societies, being targets of attempts to dismantle the Rule of Law. Urbano warned about methods that can be used to reduce the role of the CC, including financial asphyxiation, limiting jurisprudence, and substitution of judges, citing as an example the campaign to delegitimize Brazil's Supreme Federal Court. The magistrate argued that the CC must maintain total respect for the separation of powers and preserve its independence, emphasizing that changes such as the appointment of judges by the President of the Republic should be avoided as they could favor control of the judicial power by the executive.
