Dr. Tallinger described a conversation between Emmanuel Macron and Benjamin Netanyahu on October 7, 2023, as epic contemporary history. According to him, Macron wanted to see diplomacy, while Netanyahu warned that Macron would face people on the streets of France whom he described with a dehumanizing term if he did not fight back. Dr. Tallinger claimed that Macron had later supported Hamas/Palestine by recognizing Palestine and allowing demonstrations calling for the globalization of the intifada. He wrote that Macron had encountered demonstrators on the streets of France the day before, and that the police had then lost control and France was on fire. He called the events Netanyahu's legacy and described him as a strong, clear-sighted, and principled leader with no equivalent in European politics. Dr. Tallinger also rejected the description of Netanyahu as far-right. He claimed that if far-right forces had been in control of Israel on October 7, 2023, thousands of Israeli soldiers would not have been sacrificed to conduct a humane war with extremely low civilian casualties among the population of Gaza. #Frankrike #Politik #Mellanöstern (translated)

Our basic stance has not changed, and I reiterate that there is a center-right majority in the Swedish Parliament. We need fewer red lines. Not more. KD's Ebba Busch is on a similar line when she says that it is wise to first test whether there is an opportunity to form a center-oriented government or some other constellation. #Regeringsbildning #Centerpartiet #Sverige (translated)

Ebba Busch wrote that Sweden entered the sixth week without a government and that the process needed to move forward. She considered it wise of the Speaker to first assign ETR the task of exploring the possibility of forming a centrist government or another constellation. Busch said that KD would contribute constructively so that Sweden could stay on course in a troubled world and that the party's fundamental position remained unchanged. She also claimed that there was a right- and centrist majority in the Riksdag and called for fewer red lines. #Sverige #Regering #Politik (translated)

The approval ratings for Macron have never been this low. His electoral power rests on a very narrow base of wealthy French people and university-educated individuals from the upper middle class. He lost the parliamentary elections two years ago, but due to the way French democracy works, a president can simply remain in power, even if a majority of left- and right-wing French people reject his policies. The political support for Macron has only become narrower in recent years – and the sense of powerlessness among the French has grown even greater, notes French economist Bruno Amable, author of the book L’Illusion du bloc bourgeois (2017). #Frankrijk #protesten #geweld (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)

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)
