This episode of Radio Sweden Weekly covers two main topics: the acquisition of Northvolt's remaining assets by US-based battery manufacturer Leighton following Northvolt's bankruptcy, and the internal governmental friction over Sweden's new policy regarding the EU's trade agreement with Israel. The discussion about Northvolt includes analysis of the deal, its implications for former employees, and the challenges of restarting production. The segment on Swedish politics explores the government's call to freeze the EU-Israel trade agreement to pressure Israel on humanitarian aid to Gaza, the criticism from the Sweden Democrats, and the attempts by the Christian Democrats to rebalance the government's position, along with expert analysis on the political implications.
