Interest on interest criticized environmentalist Henrik Jalalian for his statements in Agenda about natural forests being rapidly logged and being completely gone in 25 years, according to a report from the Forest Agency. The writer claimed that the agency itself had rejected the conclusions of the report. According to Interest on interest, the data was still used to justify political proposals that threatened the forestry industry, restricted property rights, and would cost taxpayers billions. The writer also questioned Jalalian's reasoning about forest areas excluded from forestry and objected to natural forests being treated as a clear, scientifically established category. The writer argued that the debate should be based on facts rather than scare figures and political slogans. Interest on interest stated that forest owners maintained, utilized, and renewed the forest, and that problems within the industry were not solved by incorrect information or by casting suspicion on the entire sector. #Skogsbruk #Miljö #Politik (translated)

Mikael Grev wrote that 630 million was roughly the same amount that it, according to him, cost when the Green Party delayed the Förbifart Stockholm after the party came to power in 2022. He described the delay as completely unnecessary. https://t.co/jdnY4BRNRA #Miljöpolitik #FörbifartStockholm #Sverige (translated)

Marita Welin wrote that she had said in an article in Samnytt that she was equally angry with all politicians and that the current situation, in her opinion, showed that she was right. She argued that both she and all Swedes had the right to be angry. Welin asked whether any politician had reacted or commented on what she described as a failure in the "migration agency" concerning Mohamed Ali and urged Johan Forssell to take action. #Sverige #Politik #Engagemang (translated)

"They have treated her so horribly," Trump said, speaking about the press. "I told her, 'Honestly, if I were in your place, I would reconsider. Think about it. But I would reconsider. You have a wonderful husband and family.' Yesterday I met her family. Wonderful children. Just like from a postcard. I said, 'You should reconsider. Because you don’t want to go through all that.' On Friday, Trump hinted that Zacharia might not stay in the position for long, saying he had advised her to rethink her decision to take on the role." #Zaharija #BaltāNama #Tramps (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson criticized the editorial page of Dagens Nyheter, stating that it often exhibited the same contempt for people that it accused its opponents of. She argued that DN portrayed itself as a mediator of decent truth and responded to people who disagreed with condescension. According to Gabrielsson, the newspaper's view of decency lacked class and equality. She also criticized the Center Party (C) for not wanting to discuss substantive issues or collaborate within the majority that had reached an agreement in the parliament. She wrote that C did not want to participate in joint preliminary meetings before the committees and that C had not answered affirmatively to the question of whether the Left Party (V) was included in the same government support. Gabrielsson called it common sense for V to want to know which parties would govern together before a government agreement was negotiated. She questioned how this could be interpreted as S coddling V. Gabrielsson wrote that DN's view of decency did not seem to encompass issues such as unemployment benefits, health insurance, working conditions, and funding for welfare. She also highlighted the working conditions in the gig economy, asking whether it was decent not to prioritize that nursing assistants could live off their pensions. She wondered if it was competent for the government to privatize the employment service, which she believed had opened the door to crime while job seekers were left without help. She asked whether a society could be built together without understanding how people were affected, for example, by the risk of being denied sickness benefits after decades of work. Gabrielsson argued that understanding was not the same as agreeing, and that it was necessary to effect change. She warned that voters might lose faith that their vote made a difference, and wrote that political opponents should try to win support for their direction rather than attempting to impose their will by condescension or circumventing compromises. #politik #samhälle #jämlikhet (translated)

Johan Ingerö criticized that libraries sent what he called unfounded reports to social services. He wrote that libraries that believed certain books needed age restrictions should implement such restrictions and compared it to whether cinemas should report children under 15 attempting to watch horror films. https://t.co/B81rHL4cH9 #bibliotek #yttrandefrihet #barnskydd (translated)

Jan Lindberg wrote that Nyström had never been right on any issue, not even in this evening's Aktuellt, and that her colleague Sokolnicki was the same. He questioned whether anyone read DN and suggested that the readers could only be from Stockholm, who according to him considered themselves smarter than people from the countryside. Lindberg claimed that it was actually the opposite. https://t.co/jE4xxzpRqY #opinions #politics #media (translated)

MEMIS wrote that the opposition to forced mixing was difficult to understand if SD fundamentally believed that people were exactly the same. According to MEMIS, forced mixing was the only way to achieve assimilation if repatriation was not desirable. MEMIS described reasoning from individuals connected to Oikos as incomprehensible and referred to the group in a derogatory manner. #assimilation #återvandring #motstånd (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Mohamed Ali had dismissed the media reports and claimed that he had never been called to a police interview regarding the suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge. Schatz asked why the police had not yet heard from the Member of Parliament who was at the center of the suspicions, if Ali's statements were true. If they were not, he wondered whether V would react to the member spreading false information in a case of suspected electoral crime. #Valfusket #Borlänge #Politik (translated)

Sara Nilsson wrote that she had accepted to participate in Afterlyst special but made it clear to the editorial team that she did not want to discuss issues that Dumpen had raised since its inception over five years ago. She stated that she could consider participating if the conversation was about offenders and shortcomings in children's protection. Nilsson wrote that she had hoped the editorial team would pay attention to the influx of judgments in neighboring countries and compare them with Swedish legislation, which she believed was insufficient to prosecute individuals who actively tried to involve children in their sex lives. She also argued that individuals confronted by Dumpen had gone beyond merely viewing abusive material and were willing to risk a lot to gain access to children. Instead, the production, according to Nilsson, had developed questions about, among other things, the risk of exposing innocent people, men who had taken their own lives after confrontations, responsibility for relatives, the police's role, and her own defamation verdict. She perceived the layout as a crime special focusing on criticism of Dumpen. Nilsson wrote that she became very angry when a contact person at TV3 said that they privately thought Dumpen was doing a good job. She criticized people who, according to her, only expressed support for children's right to protection when no one else was listening, and called for adults to stand up for children openly. She stated that Dumpen had a support team with, among others, conversation therapists and psychiatrists, and asked what support Afterlyst offered. Nilsson claimed that individuals Afterlyst published information about were not more convicted than those published by Dumpen, and referred to the principle that a person should be considered innocent until a guilty verdict is announced. She asked whose right to protection was prioritized when the program created a special episode criticizing its own coverage. #Barnsäkerhet #Rättvisa #Skydd (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that it was C, and not V, that excluded the other party. She objected to Anders Ygeman's description in Aktuellt of the situation as a mutual exclusion and argued that the portrayal of C and V as equally responsible did not clarify the government issue or facilitate a quick formation of government. Gabrielsson stated that V said yes to all parties needed to elect Magdalena Andersson, while C said no to V. According to her, this prevented Magdalena Andersson from gathering a majority. #svpol #politik #regering (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that the first instance court of Latvia has sentenced Sergejs Ņikitins, a citizen of Russia and Germany, to seven years in prison. According to Kasems, Ņikitins explained that the night vision devices and binoculars brought to Russia were intended for animal shelters, but the court did not accept this explanation. Kasems claimed that after the verdict was announced, Ņikitins accused Latvia and court officials of fascism, Nazism, and Russophobia. He also wrote that Ņikitins was comforted by Aleksandrs Giļmans and Alla Berezovska and that Ņikitins repeated allegations of hatred against Russians in Latvia, as well as appealed to the Kremlin for help in rescuing him. Kasems claimed that Ņikitins had already served a sentence in Germany for killing his wife while intoxicated and pointed out what he considered a characteristic prison tattoo of thieves on Ņikitins' finger. He asked whether Ņikitins would appeal the verdict and whether the realization that such people are not needed in Russia would come to him at the beginning or closer to the end of his sentence. #vatņiki #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #ņikitins #cietums #LatvijasTiesa #spriedumi #cietums (translated)

The opposition, led by the SDP, is calling for the dismissal of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković due to the scandal involving illegal waste disposal sites, while the HDZ dismisses these accusations as a political construct and emphasizes that the individual criminal acts of certain individuals are separate from the Prime Minister's responsibility. #otpadi #politika #Lika (translated)
