Sweden’s Secrets at Risk? Pro-Russia Party Could Win Power

Swedish security experts are warning that a municipal worker linked to the ruling Sweden Democrats (SD) party has close ties to Russian networks, raising fears that sensitive intelligence could leak if the party gains more influence.

The warning comes amid growing concern over Russia’s hostility toward Sweden and the potential for pro-Kremlin elements to access classified information. Amanda Sokolnicki, a leading editor, has argued that giving SD real power would be “handing Moscow the keys to the kingdom,” while intelligence expert Jörgen Holmlund said: “We risk information leaking that absolutely must not leak” [1].

Holmlund has called for stricter vetting procedures within both political parties and the government [1]. Sokolnicki’s message is blunt: do not give SD the influence to access Sweden’s most sensitive intelligence [2]. She does not accuse the party of being traitors, but questions their judgment and loyalty, warning they could block security measures or leak secrets—whether intentionally or through naivety [2].

The editor’s appeal to voters is clear: the choice is not just about taxes or immigration, but about who holds the keys to Sweden’s most guarded doors [2].
