Nadja Natalie Isaksen criticized the media's coverage of 112-year-old Kirsten Schwalbe and her deceased husband being listed in the Bovrup registry with DNSAP's membership details. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had set the record for the oldest Dane ever just the Wednesday before, and that she had shared anecdotes from her life through TV MIDTVEST. Isaksen emphasized that Nazism was a terrible ideology, but did not believe that justified the media confronting a 112-year-old with matters from 85 years earlier. She wrote that several media outlets had contacted Schwalbe, and that a journalist from TV MIDTVEST had mentioned that the encounter with the issue had left her in a vulnerable state. According to Isaksen, the Bovrup registry contained information about individuals who had been deceased for at least ten years. She therefore believed it should be investigated how Schwalbe's name had become publicly available and pointed out that political affiliation was a particularly sensitive piece of personal information. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had subsequently told TV MIDTVEST that she felt bad about having been a member of the party, did not sympathize with the Nazis, and regretted not having investigated what she was signing. According to Isaksen, Schwalbe had explained that the signature was needed to allow the couple to buy a house, and that she had let the men handle such matters back then. Isaksen praised TV MIDTVEST for taking good care of Schwalbe and for giving her the opportunity to tell her version. She wrote that she hoped the media coverage had not caused Schwalbe to withdraw from the public eye and encouraged people to instead cherish her stories. #KirstenSchwalbe #Danmark #Mediekritik (translated)

"When Ukrainians fight for dignity, they think in the Kremlin, it's because Washington and Brussels are instigating them. That's the only world Putin knows: a world without freedom." According to Thom, when people want something, it's not because they love freedom but because they are being manipulated.

HWL criticized TV4 for once again reporting critically about Donald Trump stopping sanctions and making a diesel deal with Russia. HWL claimed that Swedish media simultaneously overlooked the fact that the EU had transferred billions to the Russian treasury throughout the war through record purchases of Russian LNG gas and that European countries were importing Russian oil through intermediaries in India and Turkey. HWL wrote that the media's focus on portraying Trump as evil concealed that EU bureaucrats, according to the writer, were responsible for the largest cash flows to Moscow. The writer expressed frustration over what they described as a spectacle. #Trump #Ryssland #EU (translated)

Simone Juffermans wrote that the government had postponed the reopening of Lelystad Airport for over six years due to nitrogen problems and the vulnerable nature of the Veluwe. According to her, that same government had deemed military use by F-35s acceptable and decided to expand the airport by 40 hectares, bringing it to a total of 240 hectares. This would require four families and six businesses to relocate. Juffermans also wrote that there was still no nature permit and that Secretary of State Boswijk had said that this could not wait. She suggested that the government would adjust the nitrogen calculation method for this purpose. Boswijk reportedly acknowledged the consequences for the families and businesses involved, but according to Juffermans, he did not expect that more homes and businesses would disappear in the short term due to defense expansions. However, she stated that he could not rule that out. #Lelystad #stikstof #natuur (translated)
