Swedens intelligence service has warned foreign powers could try to meddle in the countrys upcoming general election, singling out Russia in light of alleged interference in the last US vote.
However, the Swedish Security Service (Säpo), which is responsible for tackling espionage and terrorism, said in its annual report that Swedens robust and decentralized electoral system was tough to influence.
It cannot be ruled out that certain foreign powers will take advantage of the Swedish election campaign to enhance conflicts in Swedish society and attempt to weaken the democratic system, said Säpo head Anders Thornberg in the document, which was written last year and presented on Thursday.
Russian espionage constitutes the greatest security threat against non-NATO member Sweden, Säpo warned, adding that a third of Russian diplomats in the country were spies.
Russia is in Swedens vicinity and could be linked to a potential military conflict, Johan Olsson, a Säpo chief for countering security threats, said in the report.

Islam would seem to be an interfering entity.
But, then again, with enough Arabs, anything is possible.
Yes. Sweden should probably make sure that British agents (like Steele) don’t interfere with the election.
This is Soros and Obama making a full on attack against Democracy. If you vote properly the vote is accurate. If you vote improperly (IE populist and nationalist) then theyre spreading the story that the vote is illegitimate and they can contest the results.
Theyre doing it with Trump now.
Is there any country on earth, that is NOT claiming that the Russians are meddling in their affairs?
World-wide ‘meddling’ !!!
Who knew ?!
(don’t you just hate meddling?)
Not to mention a host of international characters with a Democrat credit card.
Syria? Afghanistan? Asscrackistan? Somalia? Mali? Iraq? Turkey? Morocco? Libya?
Ask the EU if they’re doing the fiddling.
So instead of the really really liberal winning, only the really liberal will win?
When foreigners criticize the left’s champions, that is criminal election interference, and cause for indictments. When they criticize the right, that is, of course, legitimate as a preventive measure against all manner of bad things. Because Hitler.
BTW, who is/are the most conservative political party/parties/individuals in Sweden?
It depends on your take on conservatism.
The most popular party are Social Democrats (the name talking) followed by Moderata samlingspartiet who describe themselves as ‘liberal conservatives’ being socially liberal and economically moderate. The third are Swedish Democrats who are somehow conservative by Swedish standard arguably being to the left of US Democrats but to the right of the two above.
In any way the Left (Communist) and Green party combined has more followers than this poor excuse of ‘conservative’ Democrats. Also Democrats has at best four times lesser followers than Social Democrats.
You all have your bags packed for Sweden?
There is exactly one party, the Sweden Democrats (SD) that does not want to destroy Sweden through the replacement of Swedes with Muslims from various sh-t holes source countries.
Every other party either actively seeks, or passively accepts, the obliteration of the Swedish people and their homeland.
Unfortunately, the Swedes are a weak people with a very feminized society, so the SD is very unlikely ever to get the 51 percent it would need to govern alone.
The Soviet communists always interfered in Scandinavian politics from Sweden to Finland and Norway.
Every “peace” movement in those three countries were literally controlled by the KGB through it’s “World Peace Council” front.
For Sweden, their four delegates to the WPC from 1977-80 were:
Stellan Arvidson - Poet; literary critic; FORMER member of Parliament
Harald Edelstem - Diplomat; Ambassador of Sweden to Algeria and very anti-American
Vide Svensson - Civil Servant
John Takman - Physician; FORMER member of Parliament
Norway - Roald Halvorsen - President, Norwegian Peace Council
Recent finds in diplomatic records at the National Archives showed that key Norwegian political figures and even one or two of their leaders were either KGB operatives or assets
There might be a book coming out on this in a year or two.
Finland - a neutered country abounds in Soviet/KGB operatives and assets
WPC delegates including
Peter Backa, Swedish peace Committee in Finland; Swedish People’s Party
Seppo- Kanerva- V-Chm, Foreign Political section of Democratic Union of Finnish People
Matti Kekkonen - Government Councellor; Centre Party
Tellervo M. Koivisto - MP; Social Demcoratic Party; Chairman, Friendship Committee with the Arab Peoples, etc. - SUSPECTED KGB AGENT
Some FROM THE CENTRE PARTY - Kalervo Siikala; Paavo Vayrynen.
Ulf Sundqvist - MP; Sec. Gen, Social Democratic Party, Former MINISTER

Foreign influences in Sweden? No shit Sherlock!
And PUTIN likes to sky, like any good imperialist RusSki.
Like the literal Caliphate isn’t influencing Sweden’s elections....
Dumb as a Swede!
