Stockholm: The front of right-wing and conservative ideologies has won a majority in the elections held in Sweden, one of the advanced European countries and a supporter of the separatist policy. Voting for 349 parliamentary seats was held in Sweden on Sunday. Its results were announced on Wednesday, and it was announced that the Right Front won a narrow majority with 176 seats. Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson, who led the left-wing government, announced her resignation after the verdict.
According to the result announced by the Swedish authorities, the Left Front, led by the Social Democrats, had to settle for 173 seats. While the right-wing alliance raised by the initiative of ‘Sweden Democrats’, an aggressive right-wing party of ideology, has got 176 seats. Besides, the Sweden Democrats party, which entered Parliament in 2010 with more than five percent of the votes, has acquired 73 seats. A total of 11 seats have been added to the seats of this party compared to the elections held in 2018. After the result, it became the second largest party in Sweden.
The right front of the Sweden Democrats includes the Moderate Party, the Liberals, and the Christian Democrats. After the result, the government’s leadership will be with the Chief of the Moderates, Ulf Kristerson. Moreover, it is said that Sweden Democrats will have an important position in the cabinet. The head of Sweden Democrats, Jimmy Akesson, has announced to ‘make Sweden great again’. Italian right-wing leader Matteo Salvini welcomed the success of the Sweden Democrats.
It is said that the influx of refugees and the increase in crime across the country was the decisive factor behind this historic coup in Sweden. It had come to light that refugee gangs virtually rampaged Sweden’s major cities, with violent incidents and other crimes rising by more than 30%. The Sweden Democrats had consistently taken an aggressive stance on the issue related to refugees and harshly criticised the government’s policies. Analysts claimed that its results were reflected in the election results.
It had come to the fore in the past decade that the right-wing groups have begun to gain increasing support in Europe. Right-wing parties had succeeded in entering the Parliament in countries like Germany, France, Italy, Asia, and Norway. After that, claims were being made that they were regressing in the last two years. Against this background, the seats won by the right-wing party and the majority won by the Alliance in Sweden became a noteworthy event.
