“No hay obstáculos, pero los gobiernos de Tidö (nombre que recibe la coalición de gobierno de derechas) tienen que conseguir la mayoría, ese es el único obstáculo”
Buen análisis en cuanto a la dimensión geopolítica: perder la opción de que Islandia se acerque a la UE debilita sin duda la proyección europea en el Ártico y deja vacíos que actores autoritarios y empresas pueden aprovechar. Pero no basta con lamentar el resultado desde el realismo frío: el artículo acierta al señalar que el europeísmo está hoy demasiado ligado a un perfil urbano y cosmopolita, y ahí tenemos la raíz del problema. Como progresistas pensamos que la respuesta no es cerrar filas en torno a una retórica tecnocrática o a la pura seguridad militar, sino ofrecer una alternativa concreta y creíble: una UE más democrática, transparente y social, que proteja empleos y comunidades (p. ej. pesca y pequeñas economías isleñas), que comparta beneficios del mercado único y de la transición verde, y que respete la identidad y preocupaciones locales sin caer en condescendencia. También hace falta una estrategia ártica basada en cooperación científica, derechos de los pueblos indígenas y acción climática, no solo en proyecciones de poder. Si la Unión quiere ampliar su influencia legítima tendrá que ganarse la confianza de quienes hoy se sienten excluidos —no con propaganda, sino con políticas que reduzcan desigualdades, mejoren servicios públicos y expliquen claramente qué ganarían con la integración. Solo así podremos combinar seguridad, justicia y sostenibilidad en Europa 🙂

Now the Sweden Democrats' migration policy is the center policy in Sweden. Both the Moderates and the Social Democrats have, from their perspectives, moved closer. (translated)
Yesterday, the regime in Iran carried out public executions in the city of Isfahan. Those who were executed were people who had participated in protests against the regime. On the same day, the leader of AfS posted a clip where he proudly announces that he has met with the Iranian ambassador to Sweden to discuss. (translated)
Since the lowering of the food VAT, food prices have dropped. Since the beginning of the year, food prices have decreased by 6 percent. Before the election in 2022, the situation was the opposite. Food prices increased every month. Inflation was at 9 percent in August 2022. People became (translated)
There are sweeping statements being made about Swedishness and who is Swedish, from both the left and the right. This is an old trick that the Social Democrats have used for a long time, where they try to divert the conversation from policy issues by starting a debate about Swedishness that is intended to...

The debate on the Iran issue has been remarkable in Swedish media. One of the largest single massacres carried out by a state in modern times was forgotten by the media after four to five months. Tens of thousands of Iranians were murdered by the regime on January 8-9. How often is it mentioned in Swedish? (translated)
Killing people to take their organs is one of the most horrifying abuses of our time. Despite serious reports of involuntary organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience and dissidents in China, the international community still does too little.

A criticism of the government that has been recurring during this mandate period, and which you will not see a trace of if the next government becomes red-green, concerns how much influence the Council on Legislation and various referral bodies should have. For those of us who have been in politics for a while, it is (translated)
