Nadja Natalie Isaksen criticized the media's coverage of 112-year-old Kirsten Schwalbe and her deceased husband being listed in the Bovrup registry with DNSAP's membership details. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had set the record for the oldest Dane ever just the Wednesday before, and that she had shared anecdotes from her life through TV MIDTVEST. Isaksen emphasized that Nazism was a terrible ideology, but did not believe that justified the media confronting a 112-year-old with matters from 85 years earlier. She wrote that several media outlets had contacted Schwalbe, and that a journalist from TV MIDTVEST had mentioned that the encounter with the issue had left her in a vulnerable state. According to Isaksen, the Bovrup registry contained information about individuals who had been deceased for at least ten years. She therefore believed it should be investigated how Schwalbe's name had become publicly available and pointed out that political affiliation was a particularly sensitive piece of personal information. Isaksen wrote that Schwalbe had subsequently told TV MIDTVEST that she felt bad about having been a member of the party, did not sympathize with the Nazis, and regretted not having investigated what she was signing. According to Isaksen, Schwalbe had explained that the signature was needed to allow the couple to buy a house, and that she had let the men handle such matters back then. Isaksen praised TV MIDTVEST for taking good care of Schwalbe and for giving her the opportunity to tell her version. She wrote that she hoped the media coverage had not caused Schwalbe to withdraw from the public eye and encouraged people to instead cherish her stories. #KirstenSchwalbe #Danmark #Mediekritik (translated)

Rasmus Munch Søndergaard wrote that Danish police, in his opinion, did not enforce the law uniformly. He claimed that political violence committed by the left was not being solved, and referred to masked demonstrators as dangerous left-wing extremists. He pointed to Section 134 b, subsection 1 of the Penal Code, which he stated prohibits face coverings at public meetings and gatherings when they can prevent identification. Søndergaard wrote that he had attempted to find the responsible incident commander to ask them to enforce the law, but that the officers would not or could not identify the leader. He criticized that, in his opinion, one could not rely on equal enforcement of the law in Denmark. #Danmark #PolitiskVold #Loven (translated)

Jotam Confino wrote that several B.T. employees had publicly criticized the development of the media. According to him, they believed that B.T. had been used for an ideological project, that journalistic independence had been compromised, and that employees had allegedly been called in for discussions about their opinions. Confino wrote that he was not aware of any of the critics resigning, and that he personally believed it was free for both employees and others to criticize the media. As one of B.T.'s public profiles, Confino described his own experiences. He wrote that he had never received instructions about journalistic angles or been pressured to follow an ideological line. He also had not been in a conversation about his opinions or been told to be more critical of the left than the right, he wrote. Confino described his bosses as skilled and professional and said that he felt he had full journalistic freedom. Confino highlighted B.T.'s bourgeois profile and wrote that an editorial line did not in itself mean that the media was politically controlled. He asked why there was no corresponding criticism of Information, Politiken, or TV 2. He also criticized colleagues from other media, ministers, and party leaders for, in his opinion, contributing to doubts about B.T.'s independence. He pointed to B.T.'s coverage of the mink scandal, Enhedslisten's support for a terrorist organization, which according to his post was involved in the murder of a 21-year-old student from Tanzania, and anti-Semitism, among other things, in Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke. Confino wrote that B.T. had made significant progress both in readership and economy, and that he was proud to be part of the media and supported the management. #BT #journalistik #medier (translated)

People must understand that there are serious consequences for this kind of thing. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth's main argument for showing the execution publicly is that "people must understand that there are serious consequences for this kind of thing." #NidalHasan #Avrättning #MilitärRätt (translated)

Henrik Dahl wrote to Eva Lund, Morten Dahlin, and Mads Strange, that the Pentecostal movement was a marginalized part of Danish Christianity. He claimed that they knew it well but refrained from acknowledging it publicly because their arguments would then fall apart. #Pinsebevægelsen #DanskKristendom #Religionsdebat (translated)

Tom Jensen wrote that Berlingske had to pay 22,000 kroner plus VAT to access data that, according to him, was otherwise not publicly available. He wrote that male children of descendants from MENAPT countries, that is, the third generation, were also significantly overrepresented in crime statistics, and that this increased the political demands for full transparency regarding the numbers. https://t.co/wVJBGj4Hxz #åbenhed #kriminalitet #MENAPT (translated)

Compound interest wrote that Ida Gabrielsson had described the party's antisemitism and glorification of terror as "other concerns." The author also criticized her for having mentioned what they described as a shameful handling of C jurors many years ago while simultaneously stating that she would never bring up the matter publicly. Compound interest pointed out that she did exactly that and ended with an ironic comment about how well it went. #politik #antisemitism #moral (translated)

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)

I ruslands officielle udenrigspolitik er Danmark klassificeret som en fjende af rusland. Dansk territorium erklæret "en trussel mod ruslands nationale sikkerhed". Det er offentligt bekræftet information. Hvordan kan en dansker sige: Rusland er ikke min fjende⁉️ #Rusland #Danmark #Udenrigspolitik

Återigen – ett möte som inte redovisats väcker frågor Igår skrev jag om Nooshi Dadgostars deltagande vid Stockholms moskés 25-årsjubileum. Nu väcks liknande frågor kring hennes deltagande vid Somaliska riksförbundets årsmöte förra året. Varken Vänsterpartiet eller Somaliska riksförbundet har offentligt redovisat mötet eller vilka frågor som diskuterades där. Vad handlade samtalen om? Diskuterades jämställdhet och frågor som barnslöjor, kvinnlig könsstympning och niqab? Eller handlade mötet om politisk representation, kandidater och vallistor? Jag vill också veta hur Vänsterpartiet ser på risken att patriarkala eller klanbaserade maktstrukturer får politiskt inflytande under begrepp som mångkultur, representation och samverkan. Frågan är särskilt relevant eftersom jag redan den 12 januari 2026, åtta månader före valet, varnade i Fokus för klan- och nätverksbaserad mobilisering och för hur sådan kollektiv mobilisering kan påverka personval och partiernas interna processer. Artikeln hade rubriken ”Ändra valsystemet – klanröster urholkar demokratin”. Valresultatet aktualiserar nu frågor som Vänsterpartiet bör besvara öppet: Hur arbetar partiet för att förhindra att släkt-, klan- eller andra kollektiva maktstrukturer får inflytande över nomineringar, personröster och politisk representation? Varför har så lite offentlig information lämnats om dessa möten med organisationer som gör anspråk på att företräda större grupper? Har det förekommit andra liknande möten med organisationer som inte har redovisats i partiets egna kanaler? Demokratin bygger på transparens, individens fria val och individuella rättigheter – inte på att kollektiv får kontroll över individens politiska val eller på slutna möten utan offentlig redovisning. Jag ser fram emot Nooshi Dadgostars svar. Sameh Egyptson Riksdagsersättare (KD) #Demokrati #Transparens #Politik

Udlændinge- og Integrationsministeriet har bekræftet at Brobyggerne, Özlem Cekic's NGO, har modtaget 2,8 mio. kr. i offentlig støtte i perioden 2021-2024. Det er helt præcis 2,8 mio. kr. for meget hvis du spørger mig. https://t.co/OZby0DNYBC # offentligtstøtte # integration # NGO

Vurderingsstyrelsen ved, at den sender forkerte vurderinger til sommerhusejere. Og den har nu meddelt, at den ikke har tænkt sig at rette fejlene af egen drift - kun hvis hver enkelt boligejer selv opdager dem og klager. Det er imod god forvaltningsskik. Og det er en helt urimelig behandling af boligejerne. En myndighed skal have styr på fakta, før den træffer en afgørelse, og rette fejl af egen drift, når den opdager dem. Det kaldes officialprincippet. @Skattebetalerne opfordrer skatteminister @engelschmidt til at indskærpe, over for Vurderingsstyrelsen, at den skal leve op til officialprincippet. Sommerhusejer Carl-Johan Howitz i Karsemose Nord påpegede overfor Vurderingsstyrelsen, at hans grund var vurderet ud fra 15 procents bebyggelse. Lokalplanen tillader kun 10 procent. Styrelsen henviste ham til at bruge 1.200 kroner på at indsende en klage. Skattebetalerne gik ind i sagen i januar (se link nedenfor) og kritiserede denne praksis for at være ulovlig. Efter B.T.s omtale i februar bad Ombudsmanden om en redegørelse. I maj sendte styrelsen alligevel naboen en deklaration med SAMME fejl. Siden er fejlen fundet i Nordjylland og Odsherred. (Se link til BT’s seneste historie nedenfor). Vurderingsstyrelsen nægtede i månedsvis at svare på spørgsmål. Nu erkender den en systemfejl. Det fem milliarder kroner dyre vurderingssystem kan ikke håndtere lokalplaner. Howitz' beskatningsgrundlag er for højt. Alligevel siger styrelsen nu, at den ikke har tænkt sig »normalt« at rette fejl i andre vurderinger af egen drift. Det er urimeligt. De fleste boligejere ved ikke, at der er en fejl. De betaler bare. Skal alle boligejere nu til at læse lokalplaner for at tjekke deres vurderinger? Styrelsen har henvist til 20 procent-reglen. Den holder ikke. Reglen findes, fordi værdiansættelse er usikker. Den giver ikke hjemmel til at undlade at oplyse sagen korrekt. En bebyggelsesprocent er nagelfast og offentligt tilgængelig. Det er styrelsens opgave at bruge den korrekt, ikke skatteborgerens. Skattebetalerne opfordrer Ombudsmanden til at gå helt ind i sagen og tage stilling til styrelsens praksis. Vurderingsstyrelsen lever ikke op til god forvaltningsskik, og skatteborgerne behandles ikke ordentligt her. #Vurderingsstyrelsen #GodForvaltning #Skatteydere
