Fútbolgate.com published statements from Helguera in which he claimed that football was becoming corrupt and cited the case of Barcelona and Negreira as an example. He wondered if Real Madrid would have their league titles returned and what would happen to the teams that, according to him, were relegated by one or two points that Barcelona had taken away from them. Helguera also criticized the prominence of referees and their behavior, and referred to the press conference prior to the 2025 Cup final due to its references to Madrid. He argued that there were referee controversies every Sunday and that some expressions from the officials could provoke players. He also questioned the ability to talk about other areas but not about referees. https://t.co/dh1CnPZRbm #Fútbol #Corrupción #LaLiga (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)

MEMIS wrote that the SD leadership, according to them, had begun to believe in the image of the party as brilliant strategists. The success had rather depended on the fact that Sweden, as the writer expressed it, was completely out of balance and that SD had a significant issue on its side. The writer doubted that the party would develop positively, as the party leadership, according to them, did not want to allow younger and more competent individuals to compete for influence. Instead, they brought in a sycophantic older Facebook user who, according to MEMIS, had never expressed an interesting thought. They also dismissed the talk of the return of conservatism and described it as a superficial variant. #politik #Sverige #konservatism (translated)
