Sources: 13. Developments: 2. Nooshi Dadgostar, leader of the Swedish Left Party (Vänsterpartiet), has addressed internal party controversies and election-related issues. In late August, Dadgostar addressed antisemitism within the party, noting that the party’s engagement with the Palestinian issue may have attracted individuals with antisemitic views. She confirmed the exclusion of 25 candidates from election lists due to antisemitic remarks and the glorification of terrorism, stating these individuals could not represent the party. During an interview with SVT, she expressed a willingness to wear a Star of David to show support for Sweden’s Jewish minority. By late September, the focus shifted to allegations of suspected election fraud in Dalarna. Dadgostar commented that “it is good that we are finding out what has happened,” explaining that she had previously remained silent to allow for a thorough investigation. She noted that the individual involved in the matter has taken a leave of absence and clarified that party leadership had no personal acquaintance with the individual in question. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-23: Norrköping shooting: Person injured at Mirum Galleria A shooting at the Mirum Galleria in Norrköping has left one person injured.
