According to Rosencrantz, he assessed after more than a month that a red-green majority government would not become a reality. He argued that the only opportunity for the Social Democrats, as in 2018, was a minority government tolerated by the Center Party, either with the Social Democrats alone or together with the Green Party and/or the Left Party. According to Rosencrantz, such a government would lack a majority for its economic policy, find it difficult to implement major reforms, and risk recurring government crises during the mandate period. He wrote that Magdalena Andersson faced this option or an early election, describing both outcomes as a failure and as the opposite of what the Social Democrats had promised voters. He also suggested that the development could be the beginning of the end for the Social Democrats' unique position as the governing party in Swedish politics. #svpol #politik #regering (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that a historical building, which he claimed had survived two world wars, was set on fire in France the day before his post. He stated that the perpetrators were activists with Palestinian flags and that the fire occurred during violent riots, which SVT, according to Schatz, had described as youth protests for more resources for schools. He claimed that similar暴力 occurred in several European countries, with fires, looting, and attacks on police and community institutions. Schatz accused European governments of having long tolerated a political culture where left-extremist and identity-political movements, as well as parts of the Palestinian movement, were allowed to stretch the boundaries, which he claimed contributed to the normalization of violence. He called for immediate interventions against violence and glorifications of terrorism, strict legal consequences for attacks on the police and vandalism, and an end to what he described as a culture of excuses in political discourse. According to Schatz, the situation would otherwise worsen. #Demonstrationer #Våld #Politik (translated)
