Sweden will announce whether it will apply to NATO.
Sweden’s ruling Social Democrats said on May 15 that they would announce their position on whether the country should apply for NATO membership.
A decision in favor of membership would in all likelihood pave the way for Sweden to submit a membership bid.
If the Social Democrats support the union, there would be a clear parliamentary majority for an application, especially if neighboring Finland – where a decision is also expected in the coming days – would apply.
Sweden and Finland have been militarily unrelated for decades, but public opinion in both countries has shifted since Russia invaded Ukraine.
