Sweden’s Prime Minister Magdalena Anderson and other leading figures in Sweden’s ruling center-left Social Democrats have decided to support a bid to join NATO in June, at the next sources and as relayed by Bloomberg.
The party has for decades been negative in the debate over whether or not to join NATO and has always believed that such a move, if it took place, would have to garner a huge majority in parliament.
The road to Stockholm’s application in Brussels is now open and in the coming weeks Sweden, in consultation with Finland, will decide whether to apply for membership in the Alliance.
The apparent change in the two countries’ security strategy has to do mainly with the threat that they consider to be posed to them by Vladimir Putin’s Russia, especially after the latter’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
Moscow has threatened the two countries with consequences if they choose to join NATO.
