Swedish government survives key vote amid troubled NATO bid

Sweden's Justice Minister Morgan Johansson, center, is seen after the no-confidence vote in the Swedish Parliament to his favor, in Stockholm, Sweden, Tuesday, June 7, 2022. The abstention by an independent Iranian-born lawmaker on Tuesday allowed the survival of Johansson and by default Swedish Social Democratic Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's minority government — only three months before next general elections and at a time when Sweden has filed a NATO application which Turkey opposes.
