> Al Jazeera speaks to voters in Malmo, Sweden’s third-largest city, where migration and integration have become central election issues. The city is often portrayed by the far right as a warning about unchecked immigration, while local voters emphasise healthcare, unemployment, living costs and community. Polls put the centre-left opposition bloc only a few points ahead of the right-wing group.
