Marcus Adriano Birro remembers how in 1997, after being selected for a six-month project at Swedish Radio P3, he traveled to Stockholm for radio training together with 24 other young people. On the train, he met Sladjan Osmanagic. Birro recounted that they started talking after Sladjan heard music from The Jesus and Mary Chain that Birro was playing. They became close friends during the training in Stockholm and Gysinge, Birro wrote, and then continued to work together at Swedish Radio in Gothenburg. Sladjan initially worked on Musikjournalen and later became nationally known through Rally in P3. Birro also remembered their long conversations about football and Sladjan's love for Italian football. Birro wrote that Sladjan later invited him to Svenska Fans and supported his way into sports journalism. After the news of Sladjan's death, Birro described him as both uncompromising and warm, expressing sorrow over losing a friend. He also sent love and care to Sladjan's loved ones and wrote that he would raise a glass to his memory. #vänskap #SverigesRadio #fotboll (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson questioned after a discussion with Martin Ådahl whether there was any other party that the Center Party considered sufficiently acceptable. She wrote that C had tolerated the Social Democrats and the Green Party because they had previously agreed to govern with bourgeois economic policy so that C would not collaborate with the Sweden Democrats. At the same time, she argued, C had criticized S for its migration policy and rejected the Left Party despite V agreeing with C on the issue. Gabrielsson contrasted this with what she described as a contradiction in the Center Party's rhetoric on decency. She pointed to ministers from the Moderates whom she considered increasingly Trump-like and accused them of going after journalists and conducting negative campaigns, as well as statements from the KD leader, the right's talk of voters as voting cattle, and comments from Member of Parliament Lars Beckman (M) and Alice Teodorescu (KD), whom she described as conspiracy theorists. She wrote that Ådahl and C seemed to believe that the former alliance parties did not really support their current policy, but had been kidnapped by SD and deep down wanted to return to the era of Fredrik Reinfeldt. Gabrielsson argued that Ådahl and Magdalena Andersson seemed to think that the parties would return to the center when the Tidö cooperation ended. She called the view condescending and emphasized that the changes could also have been made deliberately and voluntarily. During the election campaign, Gabrielsson stated, she had spoken with a leading center-right politician from Stockholm about more people voting for SD in the area where she grew up. She recounted that she had highlighted material and social reasons for dissatisfaction and mentioned a neighbor who worked almost around the clock on his farm and cleared snow in half of Norrland during the winters. According to Gabrielsson, the center-right politician had responded that a difficult life did not excuse a vote for SD, as others with difficult lives did not vote for the party. Gabrielsson also relayed that her father, who grew up in Ockelbo, used to refer to C and the farmers as "the right aristocracy." On Tuesday, he had told her that he had closed the door on a DN Kultur journalist who wanted to discuss the family's background and life in the countryside and in the industrial town of Åmotsbruk. Her father had also criticized C as the worst party of the day and said he preferred the party when it was at least a farmers' party. Gabrielsson wrote that she had corrected him, but at the same time agreed that a party with 7 percent could be perceived as self-satisfied if it assumed that others would follow its line. #Centerpartiet #Sverige #politik (translated)

Christian Sandström wrote that Stegra's half-year report to the Energy Agency for January–June 2026 described delays and financing problems, and that an appendix stated that construction production had progressed more slowly than planned, the timeline was being reviewed, and new funding would cover higher project costs. At the same time, the company stated, according to Sandström, that financing was secured and responded yes to the question of whether the project was proceeding as planned. Sandström stated that the report was dated September 2 and that less than a month later, headlines once again reported that Stegra needed to raise at least ten billion kronor more. He suggested that those who relied on the company's communications had only themselves to blame and referred to AFV Magasin for more information. https://t.co/ouqqVBnFM4 #Stegra #kostnader #finansiering (translated)
