Magnus Barsøe wrote that Denmark should establish an investment fund inspired by Norway together with Mayor Michael Vindfeldt. They presented the proposal in Berlingske and called the fund "Denmark's Generational Fund." Barsøe compared Norway's sovereign fund, which he claimed had nearly 22 trillion Norwegian kroner, with Denmark's economy. He wrote that the treasury had an overall surplus of nearly 500 billion kroner from 2021 to 2025, and argued that the money should be invested instead of being used for political priorities. The proposal included a starting capital of between 100 and 150 billion kroner from the state's account in the National Bank, as well as annual state contributions of ten billion kroner for ten years. According to Barsøe, the investments should be widely spread across foreign stocks and managed independently of politicians. He also suggested a cap of two percent on the fund's annual payouts. If the fund started with 150 billion kroner, Barsøe claimed it could grow to about 500 billion kroner in 20 years and then send nearly ten billion kroner a year to welfare. He wrote that the fund should help pass on values to future generations and noted that Denmark's "oil" was labor. #Danmark #Økonomi #Investering (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se called it grotesque that Mikael Damberg, Tobias Baudin, and Magdalena Andersson even discussed government participation with the Left Party. According to the site, it would benefit Ida Gabrielsson, whose husband Kalle Larsson was reported to have been involved in building up Hamas's propaganda apparatus in Sweden, along with others including Gustav Fridolin, who the site wrote was again in line for a ministerial post for the Green Party. The site reminded that the next day would be October 7, the anniversary of Hamas's massacre of 1,200 Jews. It also claimed that the Social Democrats were simultaneously negotiating government participation with several parties that had built up propaganda for Hamas. #svpol #politik #svenskpolitik #demokrati (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Sweden commemorated the third anniversary of the massacre on October 7 while antisemitism reached record levels. He criticized public service for airing a strongly biased documentary about the IDF and critical segments in Aktuellt about Israeli soldiers, stating that the victims of the attack were missing. He described the coverage as campaign journalism. #antisemitism #journalistik #historia (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se described the Sweden Democrats' decision to move Tobias Andersson from the business committee to a less prominent role in the education committee as today's strangest. The writer stated that Andersson had saved many tax billions from Vargas and had become highly regarded in Swedish business during a single term. Ledarsidorna.se also wrote that the Sweden Democrats seemed to be developing in the same direction as the Social Democrats, where networks, power, and prestige took precedence over results and competence, and argued that the party's future prospects therefore looked unfavourable. #svpol #svpol #politik #Sverigedemokraterna (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding Thand Ringqvist's argument on Agenda that the Left Party and the Center Party were far apart. She claimed that the Center Party was not particularly close to any of the other parties with Magdalena Andersson as the prime ministerial candidate in economic policy. According to Gabrielsson, the Center Party had chosen the same prime ministerial candidate as the red-green parties to avoid governing with the Sweden Democrats, but the choice also meant that the party would have less influence on its bourgeois economic policy. Gabrielsson wrote that she did not want to decide which side the Center Party should choose, but felt that the party should have thought through the consequences before going to the election on Andersson. She argued that the Center Party's actions risked blocking both possible government alternatives. Since the election result, according to her, meant that the four parties' mandates were needed to choose Andersson as prime minister, she believed that the parties had to compromise. She emphasized that the business community had not voted and that each voter had had a vote. She also wrote that most red-green voters wanted to see a government with the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party, while the voters of the Tidö parties had other favorites. According to Gabrielsson, parties should not negotiate with mandates from voters who had voted for another government alternative, and she believed that the election result must be reflected in politics. The Left Party wanted to be part of the government, according to her, to be able to implement reforms and agreements. Gabrielsson wrote that it was difficult to understand why the Center Party opposed the Left Party in the government and claimed that the Center Party's content in a possible agreement should be respected on the same terms. #politiksverige #val2023 #demokrati (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had destroyed the immigration policy. He claimed that the government had decided to grant citizenship to 2,055 individuals without screening, and that a significant proportion came from the Middle East and Africa. According to Messerschmidt, the Social Democrats had lost the internal power struggle over immigration policy, so the Radical Left, the Socialist People’s Party, and the Moderates now determined the policy in the area of citizenship. He believed that one could not conduct a strict immigration policy while simultaneously accepting a practice that, in his view, could grant citizenship to Islamists without screening. Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had lost control over immigration policy and that the Danish People's Party and he himself were ready to take over if Mette Frederiksen no longer wanted or could pursue the policy she had promised. He said he would make Denmark the safest country in the world. #udlændingepolitik #Danmark #socialdemokratiet (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that the Social Democrats had had four years to come up with a government alternative but still stood helpless. He described the development as a mockery of the voters and stated that serious questions regarding electoral fraud remained. Schatz believed that Sweden needed a functioning government and urged the Speaker to allow the parliament to examine the Social Democrats' government alternative before the way was paved for a new election. #Sverige #politk #valfusk (translated)

Daniel Schatz questioned whether the Green Party's demands for financial accountability were sufficient for the party's representatives. He wrote that the Member of Parliament Leila Ali Elmi had had 17 payment orders from the Enforcement Authority, while she was elected to the party board and became the party's spokesperson for integration policy. According to Schatz, the Enforcement Authority had, in one case, decided to collect debts from Ali Elmi and in another made a decision on enforcement. He asked what requirements the Green Party had for its representatives regarding financial responsibility. #EkonomisktAnsvar #Sverige #Politik (translated)

Today, SvD writes that Borlänge municipality does not see any signs of electoral fraud. "Our perception of the voting is that it has been a good early voting process without major incidents," says Fredrik Holm, deputy municipal director. At the same time, the newspaper Bulletin has gone through the daily reports from the vote receivers that present a completely different picture of the patriarchy that controls how women vote. The municipality has not reported this further and has no obligation to do so. Perhaps the municipality is technically doing the right thing. But can you understand that many Swedes are shaking their heads? This does not create a good impression. Something must be done. Sweeping this under the rug will lead to decreased trust in the electoral system and democracy. #valfusk #demokrati #Borlänge (translated)
