Sweden's prime minister has promised to put IVF at the heart of his re-election campaign as he tries to win over female voters amid the country's record low birthrate. Ulf Kristersson's government recently increased the number of state-funded IVF attempts granted to aspiring first-time parents from three to six. Now he has said that if his party, the centre-right Moderates whose minority-run coalition depends on the support of the far-right Sweden Democrats hold on to power in September's general election, they will also fund IVF for additional children.
The Sweden Democrats would be willing to allow young people who have already received deportation orders the chance to remain in Sweden, after the Moderate Party shifted on the issue. After the issue of young adults being deported without their parents became a major national issue at the start of 2026, three years after The Local first broke the story, the ruling Tido coalition mounted a U-turn, promising to adopt a safety clause to allow more of the affected adults to stay in Sweden.
