Fredrik Johansson wrote that he assumed Magdalena Andersson needed Monday to put together the government and budget. He assessed that certain formalities remained, but that it was practically ready, and argued that Andersson otherwise would not reasonably have asked for another day. #Sverige #politik #regering (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se questioned whether Magdalena Andersson was suitable as prime minister and government builder. The writer described their personal image of her as fundamentally positive but criticized her actions in security policy issues. The writer pointed out that Andersson had said in spring 2022 that Swedish NATO membership would destabilize the region before she reportedly changed her stance when Finland moved toward membership. Ledarsidorna.se also referred to an interview in Politico where Andersson allegedly wanted a future government to place greater importance on "the global south." The writer claimed that this aligned with Vladimir Putin's interests and highlighted Russia's actions towards the Baltic states. The post also mentioned that Morgan Johansson, according to Ledarsidorna.se, had stated that the Social Democrats wanted to pause an association agreement with the EU. The writer asserted that this would undermine Sweden's and NATO's northern flank defense capability, as Israeli Elbit Systems was the main supplier of communication systems to the Swedish and Finnish armies. Ledarsidorna.se also criticized that five Social Democratic members of the European Parliament had voted against a resolution to counter Islamist entryism in the EU. The writer claimed, referencing their sources, that the decision had been made by the Social Democrats' executive committee on Sveavägen 68. The post stated that Andersson and the committee had a different assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood than French and German intelligence and security services, without providing the basis for this. The writer concluded by asserting that there were good reasons to ask whether Andersson wanted what was best for Sweden and the Swedish people. #svpol #Sverige #politik #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the red-green coalition had met and listened to a joint situation report. She described the conversation with representatives from C, S, and MP as pleasant and said that meetings were a prerequisite for better understanding each other. She thanked C for the arrangement and wrote that V wanted to start negotiating a new government as soon as possible, but that the group had at least managed to have coffee. #politik #Sverige #regering (translated)

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)

Simone Svensson shared a post from Patric Källman on Facebook and described it as thought-provoking. Källman wrote that the picture of trust in the party leaders clearly showed that voters, according to him, discovered Magdalena Andersson's shortcomings as a leader only after the election. He criticized the media for not having scrutinized her sufficiently and claimed that for four years she had not prepared a government alternative. Källman wrote that the red-green coalition gathered to create a common situational picture, not for government negotiations. Despite four Almedalen events during the term, the Center Party, according to him, needed to arrange another Mini-Almedalen in Lidingö. He also argued that Andersson had not been held accountable for how she would form a government and that the blue-yellow team would have won the election if that question had been addressed. He assessed that the red-greens would likely still manage to form a government, but claimed that the cooperation thereafter would be dysfunctional. #politiksverige #Almedalen #MagdalenaAndersson (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)

The review asked SVT journalists where the boundary between the Centre Party and the Green Party lay. The writer claimed that the Green Party was a particularly unsuitable partner if the Centre Party's main goals were the Swedish economy, growth, and entrepreneurship. According to the review, the Green Party combined the Left Party's anti-capitalism with a critique of civilization that viewed humanity's use of the earth as an intrusion. The review stated that the Green Party openly supported that view and wondered why the Centre Party nonetheless sought out the party to avoid collaborating with the Left Party. The writer questioned how the Centre Party reconciled its priorities with that choice. https://t.co/WCGhU4K3nM #politk #Sverige #journalistik (translated)

The writer stated that the Social Democrats agreed to new nuclear power that day, but claimed that Magdalena Andersson's efforts to gather a government base were hindered by the fact that the Green Party and the Left Party had completely different starting points in energy policy. The writer described a potential red-green government base as a mess. https://t.co/RsajXsa9yj #kärnkraft #energipolitik #socialdemokraterna #SE (translated)

The writer stated that the Social Democrats had changed their stance on nuclear power, but that the party needed to show that the line held even when the Green Party and the Left Party made their demands. If Magdalena Andersson succeeded in bringing the red-green parties together, the writer urged her not to abandon nuclear power again and not to halt the expansion. #kärnkraft #politik #Miljö #SE (translated)
