NATO: Sweden needs security guarantees along with accession, says PM

“Her security needs Sweden are best served by joining NATO“, Said the Prime Minister during a press conference Magdalena Anderson.

Anderson made the statement after her party, the ruling Social Democratic Party, changed its political line, abandoning its firm refusal to join NATO in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The best thing for the security of Sweden and the Swedish people is to join NATO,” she said.

“We believe that Sweden needs the formal security guarantees that accompany NATO membership,” he added.

“Tomorrow I will ensure that there is broad parliamentary support in Parliament for Sweden’s application for membership and then we will take a government decision,” she said.
