Swedish billionaires differ in their assessments of the election
In Sweden, ahead of the September 13 vote, three influential investors publicly expressed differing assessments of the country’s political course. As The Local Sweden reports, Jacob Wallenberg and Martin Lorentzon warned in the Financial Times this week about the risks of forming a left-wing government.
Robert Weil’s position
Another investor, Robert Weil, disagreed with this position. He said he was more concerned about ethnonationalist and authoritarian politics, under which migration issues could dominate to the detriment of other topics and interests.

Novus poll
At the same time, a new Novus poll showed support for the Liberal Party rising from 1.9% to 5.8%. To gain representation in parliament, the party must clear the four-percent electoral threshold.
According to the publication, other polls also recorded a notable strengthening of the Liberals’ position after several months of support that was significantly below this threshold. Previously, some commentators gave almost no chance to either the Liberals or the government of Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. The vote is expected to show whether his coalition can improve its position, or whether Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson will get a new opportunity to lead the government.
