Per Lindgren wrote that he was deeply affected by the reports of all the burned mosques in France. He stated that demonstrations and engagement for a better school environment could not justify the burning of cultural heritage and hoped that no one had been harmed. #Frankrike #Moskéer #Kulturarv (translated)

The field marshal described it as a slow train crash to see Juanita Franden go from praising the protests as something beautiful and historically French to, according to the field marshal, excusing what was happening and claiming that Europe did not understand. The field marshal wrote that Europe really did not understand how Franden reasoned about violent riots. #protester #Europa #våld (translated)

Ulf Kristersson wrote that many had followed the violent riots in several parts of Europe with dismay in recent days. He described how peaceful protests had turned into clashes, vandalism, and looting, and how shop owners had been affected by violence and destruction. Kristersson emphasized that the right to demonstrate and express opinions peacefully was fundamental in a democratic society. At the same time, he wrote that the indiscriminate violence showed a lack of respect for the values behind open and free societies. He said that violence should never be excused or downplayed and that the boundary needed to be upheld even in Sweden. #Demokrati #MänskligaRättigheter #FredligaProtester (translated)

We will be uncompromising (...) The legal aftermath must be exemplary. Those who have destroyed must pay. Those who have been plundered must be compensated. There are no excuses for resorting to violence, declared President Emmanuel Macron in a televised speech to the nation on Sunday evening. #Frankrike #EmmanuelMacron #protester (translated)

Simone Svensson wrote that she, as a teacher, felt saddened and angry about what she described as the Green Party's view on school issues. She believed that the party seemed to see them as so unimportant that anyone could take responsibility for them, even a Somali with poor knowledge of Swedish. Svensson criticized the Green Party and also addressed Amanda Lind and Daniel Helldén. She also wrote that the situation must be degrading for the person in question and that it could be terrible to feel that one was unable to handle the job. #skola #utbildning #politik (translated)

HWL wrote that they had seen information on social media about the left blaming the riots in France on Russia. They admitted that Russia was exploiting the situation and fueling the division, but claimed that it was the country's own politicians – not Putin – who had opened the borders, dismantled the judiciary, and allowed parallel societies to emerge. HWL also wrote that the politicians had the tools to stop the development within a week if they wanted, but for some unclear reason, they let the chaos continue. #politiskdebatt #socialamedier #Frankrike (translated)

Mats Ekberg wrote that he believed that fraud seemed to be common in immigrant associations and that people there tried to benefit themselves. He claimed that the authorities accepted the associations' excuses in what he called a form of "kind racism." If someone demanded their money back and reported the matter to the police, the preliminary investigation was, according to him, dropped. #bedrägeri #invandring #rasism (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that a historical building, which he claimed had survived two world wars, was set on fire in France the day before his post. He stated that the perpetrators were activists with Palestinian flags and that the fire occurred during violent riots, which SVT, according to Schatz, had described as youth protests for more resources for schools. He claimed that similar暴力 occurred in several European countries, with fires, looting, and attacks on police and community institutions. Schatz accused European governments of having long tolerated a political culture where left-extremist and identity-political movements, as well as parts of the Palestinian movement, were allowed to stretch the boundaries, which he claimed contributed to the normalization of violence. He called for immediate interventions against violence and glorifications of terrorism, strict legal consequences for attacks on the police and vandalism, and an end to what he described as a culture of excuses in political discourse. According to Schatz, the situation would otherwise worsen. #Demonstrationer #Våld #Politik (translated)

Plainview called it undignified to allow certain individuals into the Swedish Parliament and wrote that there should be a limit. For Swedes to maintain their faith in democracy, according to Plainview, the members of Parliament needed to be Swedish, speak Swedish, and have an IQ level that was not comparable to a shoe size. #Sverige #Demokrati #Riksdag (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson criticized the Centre Party (C) for what she claimed was fabricating reasons for why the Left Party (V) should not be part of a government. She wrote that parties with different positions could resolve issues through agreements and referred to the fact that parties with differing opinions on the matters raised by C had governed together in other Nordic countries. According to Gabrielsson, V would respect agreements and membership in a government. She accused C of being unwilling to negotiate the obstacles the party had highlighted and asserted that V could have resolved the issues. Gabrielsson also wrote that C refused to coordinate the ongoing policy within the parliamentary majority the party had helped create. She urged DN and others who claimed that V blocked policy issues to talk to C. Gabrielsson referred to a TV4 segment the day before, where Rikard Nordin from C, according to her, did not answer yes to the question of whether V was part of the government support. She wrote that Nordin simultaneously emphasized C as the most constructive party. Gabrielsson also stated that Thand Ringqvist responded that there was nothing V could do to facilitate a joint government cooperation. She criticized C's statement that the party could possibly support an S government in the future, provided it followed C's policies, and wrote that this implied V was expected to vote in favor of policies to the left of itself. She wrote that she wished the issues had been resolved before the election and that V had tried to unite the opposition without success. Gabrielsson said she found it hard to understand that C had not prepared for the election result that she claimed most polls had shown. #politik #samarbete #regering (translated)

Archbishop Martin Modéus believes that the state should apologize to the Sámi for historical abuses, which he describes as a matter of democratic maturity, and this coincides with a dialogue conference between the Church of Sweden and the Sámi community about reconciliation. #Samer #Ursäkt #Försoning (translated)

FIFA president Gianni Infantino apologized for not informing the board about his business plans in time, but despite this, the distrust from European football leaders remains, who express the need for leadership changes within the organization. #Fifa #GianniInfantino #fotboll (translated)

Mira Klang wrote that the man had previously asked to write columns for various newspapers and had also asked her, when she was on parental leave, if Riks would publish his texts. After receiving a title with the word "senior," he seemed, according to Klang, arrogant and as if he considered himself above those who had long publicly taken a stand on issues that he now dismissed with jokes. She also accused him of turning against her by participating in what she perceived as a coordinated public reprimand from a single individual within the party. This occurred after her response to his article on nationalism, where he, according to Klang, suggested that anyone who recognized Swedes as an ethnic group was a racist. Klang wrote that she disliked when the debate was about individuals rather than reasoning, but that the issue was important to her. She said that she did not intend to contribute to legitimizing the behavior and that one should not remain silent when someone lets you down. #debatt #yttrandefrihet #journalistik (translated)
