Swedish S leader Andersson to proceed without Left Party after talks boycott

Sweden's Social Democratic leader Magdalena Andersson signals she will move forward with policy negotiations without the Left Party, which has refused to attend joint meetings with S, C, and MP. The Left Party's withdrawal from talks marks a breakdown in pre-election coalition-building, potentially reshaping the political landscape ahead of the 2026 election. The move suggests Andersson is pivoting to a centrist alliance, though the Left Party's stance remains a key uncertainty.
