Should Sweden really hand the keys to its state secrets to the Sweden Democrats, whom the editorial describes as friendly toward Russia? Amanda Sokolnicki’s Dagens Nyheter column poses that question in its headline and gives a direct answer in its standfirst: Russia is a threat to Sweden, and the Sweden Democrats should not be given power.

The article is presented as an editorial intervention ahead of the election. Its argument is brief and sharply framed, linking the party’s alleged Russia-friendly position to control over sensitive state information.
