STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said on Sunday he had agreed with the governments cooperation parties to offer a compromise regarding rent control, in a bid to avoid losing a no-confidence vote in Parliament on Monday.
Earlier this week the opposition Sweden Democrats called a vote of no confidence scheduled for Monday, which Lofven looked set to lose after the Left Party withdrew its support for the government over a proposal to ease rent controls on newly built apartments. [L5N2O01LC]
