Ulf Kristersson wrote that many had followed the violent riots in several parts of Europe with dismay in recent days. He described how peaceful protests had turned into clashes, vandalism, and looting, and how shop owners had been affected by violence and destruction. Kristersson emphasized that the right to demonstrate and express opinions peacefully was fundamental in a democratic society. At the same time, he wrote that the indiscriminate violence showed a lack of respect for the values behind open and free societies. He said that violence should never be excused or downplayed and that the boundary needed to be upheld even in Sweden. #Demokrati #MänskligaRättigheter #FredligaProtester (translated)

Patryk Spaliński drew attention to what he sees as double standards in describing violence and devastation. He wrote that the destruction of a Parisian store was considered violence, while the eviction at the Maltańskie Housing Estate in Poznań was not. He similarly pointed out that the fire at the town hall in France was termed as the devastation of a historic site, while—he claimed—this term was not used for a historic Polish building that a developer allegedly set on fire to build a housing estate on the plot. He added that he had been reading "incredible things" for several days. #przemoc #dewastacja #zabytki (translated)

The Archdiocese of Poznań sold the land of the Maltese estate to a developer for 421 million PLN, despite the fact that hundreds of families lived in the area, which raises controversies regarding the lack of appropriate information provided to the Vatican during the transaction. #OsiedleMaltańskie #Watykan #Eksmisje (translated)

Leopold wrote that the media's attitude towards democracy had become clear during the 2026 election. He stated that Ekot, P3, P4, Expressen, and Expo had contacted him to problematize him and ettfolk, which he described as Sweden's largest digital petition of all time. He said that as a lone private citizen, he sought support from think tanks and alternative media, but received no interest. When the petition had around 100,000 signatures, he had initiated conversations with a think tank about organizing a demonstration. According to Leopold, it turned out that the think tank was primarily interested in the email addresses of the petition and wanted him to sell or share them as a condition for the demonstration. He also stated that he was offered jobs and assignments, but that he refused and distanced himself. Leopold wrote that the established right had never supported ettfolk and that Riks had also not paid attention to the project. At the same time, he described the popular support as overwhelming and urged for continued grassroots opinion formation and unity on issues that affect the majority. #demokrati #mediekritik #folkligtstöd (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Israel's F16 national team would come to Borås the following week to face France, the Netherlands, and Sweden. He stated that activists would start a campaign to boycott the matches since 17-year-old Israeli girls would be playing in Sweden. Schatz wrote that Norrby IF had difficulty finding volunteers for Israel's matches and called the situation shameful. He emphasized that these were young football players who should be able to play without becoming targets for political campaigns and hate. He urged people in the vicinity of Borås to sign up as volunteers or come and show their support, referring to David Kryssman at [email protected].

I want to confirm the creation of the first tourism academy of the European Union. This will also benefit SMEs and the tourism ecosystem of the countries in the bloc. This was confirmed on Friday by the European Commissioner for Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, during the global summit of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) being held in Valletta (Malta), in a context marked by the need to strengthen European tourism competitiveness. Vacant positions and the lack of skills are one of the biggest challenges facing the sector today. We want a better balance of visits between places and throughout the year. Tzitzikostas warned about the concentration of travel during certain periods and argued for the need to promote lesser-known destinations, encourage off-season travel, and favor longer stays. Resilience is not just about quickly recovering from impacts or crises. It is also about being able to absorb them. Tzitzikostas warned that the sector must prepare to face risks such as geopolitical tensions, climate change, trade uncertainty, and the shortage of professionals. #TurismoEU #AcademiaTurística #CompetitividadEuropea (translated)
