Sweden has a lot to offer international talents, but interest must be translated into concrete job opportunities. The new job portal makes it easier for international expertise to find Swedish employers who are looking for their skills. This strengthens both the competitiveness of companies and Sweden's ability to compete for talent, says Madeleine Sjöstedt, Director General of the Swedish Institute. #jobbportal #internationellkompetens #talangattraktion (translated)

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson wrote that during the week he had explored the possibilities of forming a center-right government with the Moderates, Center Party, Christian Democrats, and Liberals, which would be tolerated by the parliament. He stated that the election result, in his assessment, did not provide a mandate for a majority government with M, KD, L, and SD nor for a left-wing government. Kristersson indicated that information from the Sweden Democrats and Center Party on Friday had made the work somewhat easier and that discussions among the four parties were ongoing in a constructive spirit. He criticized the Social Democrats for statements suggesting that such a government would be illegitimate and could pose threats to journalists, describing the party's actions as characterized by emotion and desperation. According to Kristersson, the Speaker had announced that his final report would be submitted on Tuesday, November 17. He said he would then be available for a vote if the Speaker decided on one. Kristersson also wrote that he wanted to see a greater focus on growth and welfare during the new term and that he was convinced that the government formed would need broad cooperation. He stated that he would travel to Denmark that afternoon to meet President Zelenskyy together with his Nordic prime minister colleagues, ahead of peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine that would be discussed in Abu Dhabi. #Sverige #politik #regering (translated)

Sofia Nerbrand said that she had spoken at a memorial outside Malmö's synagogue on the anniversary of Kristallnacht. She described the name as misleading and emphasized that the pogrom was violent and devastating, not beautiful. Nerbrand stated that Nazis vandalized and burned Jewish homes, shops, and synagogues in Germany, Austria, and Sudetenland on the night between November 9 and 10, 1938. According to her, at least 91 Jews were murdered, over 1,000 synagogues were set on fire or destroyed, and about 30,000 Jewish men were taken to concentration camps. She said that Hitler and Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels staged the pogrom with the help of the SA, SS, and the Nazi Party, calling it the beginning of a systematic destruction of Jewish life and culture in Europe. She said that the Holocaust still left a great loss behind and urged reflection on the six million people who were murdered and on the children and grandchildren who were never born. Nerbrand described anti-Semitism as palpable, especially in Malmö, and said that the fight against hatred of Jews should not be a right-left issue. She linked the politicization of the issue to Hamas's terror attacks on October 7 and stated that the conflict between Israel and anti-Zionists, in Malmö and in the Middle East, should not overshadow the Holocaust. According to her, Kristallnacht should never be repeated. #Kristallnatten #Minnen #Antisemitism (translated)

Collaboration is crucial to counteract organized crime, and criminality in the labor market is one of LO's highest priority issues. The consequences are significant for individuals and for society. Economic crime creates unhealthy competition and deteriorates wages and working conditions, and fraud regarding the work environment creates dangerous situations for individuals. SMOB's work to describe the criminal economy and to find effective measures against it is very inspiring, says Johan Lindholm. #organiseradbrottslighet #SMOB #LO (translated)
