Elisabetta Aldrovandi argued that a healthy democracy should scrutinize every component and identify who made mistakes. She clarified that, in her opinion, the entire RIS was not in question, as it had helped to bring justice for the victims of serious crimes, but rather the actions of some of its members. These individuals, she wrote, may have acted transparently or not, favoring the investigations against Alberto Stasi and the construction of the accusatory framework that led to his 16-year prison sentence. Aldrovandi added that those who made mistakes should not hide behind the uniform. #garlasco #democrazia #giustizia #Trasparenza (translated)

Mr. Husis wrote that the Sweden Democrats would never become Sweden's largest party. He referred to the stigma surrounding the party and the demographic composition of the population, which he believed made it practically impossible to surpass the Social Democrats. He also assessed that Vinge's, Eos's, Karlsson's, and Åkesson's ambition to make the Sweden Democrats more like the Moderates would fail. According to him, dissatisfied center-right voters could instead choose the Moderates, Christian Democrats, or Liberals, as the Moderates were perceived as a more reasonable and credible alternative on immigration issues. He explained that the Sweden Democrats approaching 20 percent in polls was due to dissatisfaction with immigration policy and the party's dominance in that issue. Husis posed the question of whether the Sweden Democrats should be satisfied with 10-15 percent and pursue policies that the Moderates, Christian Democrats, and Liberals could also implement, or maintain a distinct profile. He argued that the party should prioritize the interests of ethnic Swedes and stand up for the Swedes' right to their country. According to him, the future of the Sweden Democrats lay in distinguishing themselves from the other parties. #Sverige #politiken #demografi (translated)
