The writer referred to a prominent report that, according to the post, the French government published in the spring of 2025. According to the writer, the report stated that the Muslim Brotherhood in Sweden had significant influence over the movement's structures in the rest of Europe. #Islamism #MuslimskaBrödraskapet #Sverige #SE #FR #EU (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the Social Democrats' 28 percent, the party's lowest result ever according to her, should lead to greater humility towards the voters. She said she appreciated the industrial town mentality's emphasis on not putting oneself at the center. Gabrielsson stated that the Social Democrats had commented on her and Nooshi's maturity and said that they therefore could not become government ministers. She pointed out that she herself had not expressed interest in the position and said that there were more or less suitable people in all parties. She did not want to compile a list of politicians' maturity herself. She argued that the Left Party's demands for political influence concerned the party's electoral politics, not specific individuals, and asked why the Social Democrats' executive committee focused instead on individuals' maturity. According to Gabrielsson, the Social Democrats needed to accept the situation regardless of their own preferences. She wrote that the party's leadership risked making it difficult for Magdalena Andersson to be elected and that the Left Party only demanded a place in the government if its mandate was needed. The Social Democrats could seek other collaborations or accept sharing power with the Left Party, she wrote. #politiken #ödmjukhet #samarbete (translated)
Viktor Barth-Kron described the Left Party as an extreme party far out on the edge with poor politics and wrote that it should be kept away from influence in Sweden. He believed that the Center Party needed to see reality as it was. He also asked the recipient why they were so rude, stating that the attitude made collaboration impossible. #politik #Sverige #Centerpartiet (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that he hated communism and did not sympathize with the Left Party, but believed that the Social Democrats' treatment of the party resembled a destructive relationship. According to him, the Social Democrats took the support of the Left Party for granted and responded to demands for political influence or ministerial positions with rejection and aggression. Schatz argued that the Social Democrats needed to get used to being a party with 25 percent of voter support, rather than a governing power party that could dictate the terms for others. #politik #demokrati #Sverige (translated)
Daniel Schatz wrote that he was happy to be included in the Media Academy's Power Barometer, which according to him mapped the reach, views, and engagement of Sweden's most influential accounts on social media. https://t.co/8EsUYMnBia #Maktbarometer #SocialaMedier #Inflytande (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson criticized Thomas Bodström for allegedly claiming in Aktuellt that she and Nooshi Dadgostar wanted ministerial positions for their own gain because they were bored in the parliament. Gabrielsson questioned the credibility of former top S members, who had held ministerial positions themselves, accusing others of only seeking such positions. She wrote that the Left Party wanted influence over politics to implement its reforms. According to Gabrielsson, the party could forgo the position of Deputy Minister of Culture and should focus on the areas it ran on in the election. She believed that everyone should be included in the formation of the government. #politik #Sverige #Socialdemokraterna (translated)
The compound interest was criticized by the editorial writer Jonna Sima, who accused her of being poorly informed about the Center Party's stance. According to the writer, the Center Party had run on a centrist solution, not on supporting a leftist majority, and the centrist option had not been successful. The writer also questioned how much influence the Center Party would gain in a government with the VPK and the MP, which they described disparagingly. If the goal was to maximize political influence, the Moderates had already offered the Center Party more than the left could do, the writer claimed. However, according to the post, the Center Party saw a centrist solution as more important than making an impact for its political agenda. The writer concluded by once again accusing Sima of being ignorant about the issue. #politiksverige #centerpartiet #ledarskap (translated)

The author wrote that the postponed Palestinian elections could provide Hamas with a strategic breathing space to re-establish itself as a political power and secure influence over Gaza's future, despite the movement having agreed to renounce formal control over the area. #Palestinavalen #Hamas #Gaza #PS #IL #GA (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)
A study from Akavia shows that academics with their own disabilities or who have children with disabilities experience diminished influence over their work tasks, lost career opportunities, and poorer well-being, highlighting the need for increased awareness and structures in workplaces to support these groups. #Funktionsnedsättning #Karriärmöjligheter #Akademiker (translated)
Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding why the Social Democrats did not listen to the Left Party, both with regard to common electoral promises and to the interests of the Social Democrats and voters. She stated that the Left Party had said since the time after the January Agreement that the party would demand influence in a government if its mandate was needed. Since the mandates were now required for the Social Democrats to form a government, Gabrielsson argued that the Left Party should be included. For Magdalena Andersson to be elected, the Social Democrats, according to her, needed to accept this and begin working towards a four-party government. She referred to the fact that the Social Democrats had 28 percent, not 45, and wrote that the party therefore needed to share and cooperate in a coalition government. #politiksverige #koalitionsregering #valse2022 (translated)
The writer stated that the Muslim Brotherhood had long been building networks in Europe and described Islamism as a political ideology that sought to increase its influence over society. The writer argued that this development needed to be stopped and that open societies needed to defend themselves against forces that exploited their freedom and openness. The left was accused of turning a blind eye to this. https://t.co/Lqx2Ixse7v #Islamism #Öppenhet #Sammanhållning #EU #SE (translated)
On October 9, a seminar will be held by Sieps where a new analysis of the political dynamics in the European Parliament is presented, with a particular focus on the influence of right-leaning groups after the 2024 election and how this affects coalitions and majorities within EU decisions. #Europaparlamentet #EUpolitiken #koalitioner (translated)
Daniel Schatz wrote that Young Left had called for demonstrations against Israel on October 7, the anniversary of what he described as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He accused the Left Party of antisemitism, terror romanticism, and extremism, stating that parties that gave V direct or indirect political influence – including C, S, and MP – would be complicit in what he called a "moral perversion." #Antisemitism #Demonstration #Vänsterpartiet (translated)

Nooshi Dadgostar participated before the election in meetings with both the Stockholm mosque and the Somali National Association. The arrangements were not secret, but the Left Party seems not to have reported her participation or what the party took away from the discussions. When organizations explicitly seek political influence and at the same time meet with a party leader, there is a legitimate public interest in openness. This is written by Sameh Egyptson in Bulletin. #politik #öppenhet #Vänsterpartiet (translated)
Anders Ygeman and I were on Aktuellt. C did not want to come. Those of us who were there agreed that we must move forward now, even though we did not have quite the same view on how. But the alleged V and M bloc seems to have no one arguing for it for long. Good! Four parties have won the election, and therefore we should govern together. V has erased our stance towards C, now it's time for C to do the same job. Without V in the government, agreements on policy will not hold; it will just be nice words on paper. Before we negotiate policy, we must of course agree on who will implement the policy and in what way; otherwise, the negotiations will be blind. S and MP now need to put pressure on C so that they also erase their stance. It's not about bickering but about making sure that all four are respected equally. That V should solve this by themselves when C even declines the invitation for coffee does not feel reasonable. Mutual trust can only be built if all parties’ voters are respected. I sent this to S, and I also think that MP needs to step up. Otherwise, nothing will happen if C is just allowed to remain in their own room. That MP claims during the election campaign that they want V involved is good, also for MP, whose voters have that perception. But talking about something is not the same as working for it, and more than V needs to do that if there is going to be a new government. So far, all pressure has been directed at V, even though V does not say no to any party in Magdalena Andersson's support and that our "stance" only pertains to our own party's right to influence. To be "neutral" in a situation where one party does not respect another is not being a good "friend." And without pressure on C to accept V equally, we will get no government negotiations where we can start to give and take in the actual policy. I believe that is what the voters want to see and expect from us! #politik #regering #val2023 (translated)
