## Resource

Sweden’s election is about more than healthcare and schools—voters are about to face a brutal fiscal reality. With NATO membership and rising defense costs, the next government must choose: expand security at the expense of welfare, or risk weakening Sweden’s long-standing social safety net. As global uncertainty mounts and U.S. support wavers, Sweden’s leaders are locked in a high-stakes balancing act with little room to maneuver.
