Sweden is getting closer to snap parliamentary elections after unsuccessful attempts by the center-left and center-right political blocs to form a government.
Prime Minister Stefan Leven has until the end of the day to resign or to call elections.
Leven was voted no-confidence in parliament on June 21 after the Left Party denied him support.
After the vote of no confidence in Leven, chaotic negotiations began during which party blocs of the center left and right tried to win the support needed to form a government, reports Reuters.
"A decision that will shake up Swedish politics," writes the daily Dagens Niheter on the front page about Prime Minister Leven's dilemma, reports Tanjug.
Leven is a former welder who has been at the head of a fragile minority coalition with the Greens since 2018, and relied on the support of two small center-right parties and the Left party to preserve power.
