Few swedes know that there are EU elections in may

A new campaign is at the door, with just more than three weeks left until election day. This time, there are elections to the european Parliament, which is held every five years. It is the only option for voters in Sweden and other member states in direct elections to appoint politicians who are making laws which are then valid throughout the EU.
