AFP today, March 2, cited the results of a poll released a day earlier, showing that the majority of Swedes believe their country has "sacrificed too much" to become a member of NATO. However, most survey participants agreed that joining the alliance would help strengthen Sweden's security.

Sweden is on track to become NATO's 32nd member, after clearing the final hurdle of Hungary. The decision to join ends two centuries of military non-alignment for the Nordic nation.

According to a poll conducted by the analytics company Indikator and Swedish broadcaster SR, 55% of Swedish people believe that their country "sacrificed too much to join NATO".

Meanwhile, 77% agreed that "Sweden's security is enhanced" by its membership of the military alliance.

The survey was conducted in February, with 2,413 people participating. However, there was no question about the type of sacrifice that people were unhappy with.

Sweden’s bid to join NATO has been met with opposition from Turkey, which accuses the Nordic country of providing safe haven to dozens of suspects it believes were involved in a failed 2016 coup attempt and Kurdish separatists.

Stockholm has reached a deal with Ankara in 2022, pledging to consider extradition requests, and to lift an arms embargo put in place since Türkiye's 2019 military offensive in Syria.

In addition, Sweden also amended its constitution to strengthen anti-terrorism laws.
