(CPOD) Sept. 13, 2003 – A majority of Swede citizens will vote against the adoption of the Euro, according to a Sifo. 50 per cent of respondents wish to keep the krona as the national currency.
Sweden will hold a referendum on Sept. 14, to decide whether or not to adopt the Euro, which has been used in 12 of the 15 European Union (EU) countries since Jan. 1, 2002. Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain are the only current EU members that have not adopted the currency.
The bitter campaign by the government and opposition parties was marked by tragedy, after foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed while shopping at a Stockholm department store on Sept. 10.
