"The budget presented today is a scam on the citizens, and on everyone. Not only does it further indebt us, bringing us closer to bankruptcy, but it is also a fraud against all those people who have had to tighten their belts over the past three years due to so-called consolidation. Mr. Kamenický and Mr. Fico officially admitted today that the deficit, that 5 percent, is the same as when they started, but in the meantime, they extracted 7 billion euros from the people through three consolidations, paid for by the self-employed, employees, companies, and the middle class. Today they are telling us, all citizens, that it was all unnecessary," said the chairman of Progressive Slovakia, Michal Šimečka, who noted that the approved budget only confirms that it would be best for Slovakia if Robert Fico's government immediately ended and the country went to early elections. #ekonomika (translated)

The Army Museum in Stockholm will close in the spring of 2027 due to significant rent increases from the State Property Agency, which raises concerns about the cultural situation and the museum's future, despite management claiming that the move is about the need for new, purpose-built facilities. #Armémuseum #kulturarv #hyreshöjning (translated)

Superintendent Lars wrote that several media had inaccurately portrayed the closure of the Army Museum. He stated that the decision was not due to the rent, but rather because the current premises were not suitable for the museum's development. According to him, a new, modern, and functional museum would be built in another location. He referred to the Army Museum's press room. #Armémuseum #museer #kultur (translated)

Superintendent Lars wrote to Morgan Johansson that the media's slant, according to him, was strange. He stated that the museum did not close due to the rent, but because a new, modern, and purpose-built museum would be built in another location.

Dan Eriksson criticized Morgan Johansson (S) for claiming that the right-wing government forced the Army Museum to close. Eriksson wrote that Johansson should have directed his criticism instead at the fact that the state compensated the National Museum and the Historical Museum for increased rents, but not the Army Museum. According to Eriksson, the rents were set by the National Property Board, whose director general, Max Elger, had previously been the financial markets minister in Magdalena Andersson's government, responsible for the authority. He wrote that Elger had publicly defended the significantly increased museum rents in the spring and stated that the agency had no choice. Eriksson noted that market rents for state museums were introduced in 1993 and that the Social Democrats had been in power for twenty years since then without changing the model. He also wrote that the museum’s own management had decided on the closure. According to the chief curator, the rent increase triggered the decision, but was not decisive, as the museum wanted to move to larger premises anyway. Eriksson argued that Johansson's phrasing sounded like a campaign poster even three weeks after the election. He added that the Social Democrats could soon take over both the rent model and the director general, and wrote that it would then be interesting to see what the party cared about. #socialdemokraterna #musepolitik #högerregeringen (translated)

Marek Stoniš stated that he was invited to a recent meeting of editors dedicated to challenging politicians to respect freedom of information, but he refused to sign the prepared appeal. He labeled the support from the media as hypocritical. According to Stoniš, these media manipulated and lied during the migration crisis, the COVID pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. He also claimed they supported Brussels legislation threatening freedom of speech, the so-called citizens' right to corrected information, the closure of inconvenient websites, and the division of society into systemic and anti-system parts. He called their current defense of free speech absurd and asked where it was in the previous ten years. https://t.co/4h8AUVd9ZQ #svobodaSlova #mediálníManipulace #politika (translated)
