Dual framing of leaders
the narrative focuses on the confrontation between Magdalena Andersson and Ulf Kristersson, while the articles themselves note the internal fragmentation of the left-wing bloc.

one of the two articles focuses the election on the issue of immigration and civil liberties rather than on the economic or social issues of the electoral program.
