AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoEU Budget Talks: Sweden’s next Social Democratic PM Magdalena Andersson is set to keep a tough line in EU long-term budget negotiations, with Sweden still in the “frugal” camp and pushing for stricter terms. Riksdag Election Watch: A new poll shows the right-wing coalition still behind the centre-left opposition, but the gap has narrowed since June ahead of the Sept. 13 vote; Andersson’s Social Democrats are essentially flat versus four years ago while the Moderates edge down, and the Liberals remain below the 4% seat threshold. Refugee Protection Mood: An Ipsos-UNHCR survey finds support for refugees stays high in Sweden (78%), even as people worry about how asylum systems and border management work in practice. Prison Capacity Pressure: Estonia rejects the idea of housing British prisoners, despite a separate deal to take up to 600 Swedish inmates, as the UK debates overcrowding and early releases. International Human Rights Row: Iran’s foreign minister lashes out at France and other states after a joint condemnation of alleged executions of protesters, with Sweden among the signatories. Security & Industry: Sweden’s Boliden wins a key step for its Laver mine after appeals are rejected, though construction still depends on further permits.
