We are fighting because the cost of living is too burdensome, because the price of fuel is too high, because high school students are violently attacked and injured across the country just for trying to protest and demand more teachers and decent learning conditions. Lola, a 19-year-old protester, told The Guardian: "We are fighting because the cost of living is too burdensome, because the price of fuel is too high, because high school students are violently attacked and injured across the country just for trying to protest and demand more teachers and decent learning conditions." #ProtesteFranta #CostulVieții #ViolenteInStrada (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson criticized the editorial page of Dagens Nyheter, stating that it often exhibited the same contempt for people that it accused its opponents of. She argued that DN portrayed itself as a mediator of decent truth and responded to people who disagreed with condescension. According to Gabrielsson, the newspaper's view of decency lacked class and equality. She also criticized the Center Party (C) for not wanting to discuss substantive issues or collaborate within the majority that had reached an agreement in the parliament. She wrote that C did not want to participate in joint preliminary meetings before the committees and that C had not answered affirmatively to the question of whether the Left Party (V) was included in the same government support. Gabrielsson called it common sense for V to want to know which parties would govern together before a government agreement was negotiated. She questioned how this could be interpreted as S coddling V. Gabrielsson wrote that DN's view of decency did not seem to encompass issues such as unemployment benefits, health insurance, working conditions, and funding for welfare. She also highlighted the working conditions in the gig economy, asking whether it was decent not to prioritize that nursing assistants could live off their pensions. She wondered if it was competent for the government to privatize the employment service, which she believed had opened the door to crime while job seekers were left without help. She asked whether a society could be built together without understanding how people were affected, for example, by the risk of being denied sickness benefits after decades of work. Gabrielsson argued that understanding was not the same as agreeing, and that it was necessary to effect change. She warned that voters might lose faith that their vote made a difference, and wrote that political opponents should try to win support for their direction rather than attempting to impose their will by condescension or circumventing compromises. #politik #samhälle #jämlikhet (translated)

HWL wrote that TV4 reported from Brussels, where EU leaders met to discuss Ukraine. According to HWL, the reporter criticized the U.S. purchase of Russian diesel and said that Trump was not trustworthy. The reporter described this as "the very worst in the situation," wrote HWL. HWL simultaneously claimed that the EU shut down its own industry while the union bought Russian LNG gas at record levels and imported Russian oil via India. HWL criticized the reporter for not pointing out that Europe, according to the post, was buying the same Russian energy indirectly and accused the reporting of protecting a narrative. HWL asked why the EU could buy Russian oil through intermediaries while the U.S. could not buy Russian diesel. #EU #Journalistik #Ukraina (translated)

The review echoed a testimony from a woman who, according to her account, had been raped while another attacker cut off her breasts with a knife. The assaults continued before she was killed, the review stated. The author described the massacre on October 7 as a deep trauma for Israeli society and wrote that this year's memorial ceremony was particularly significant because all surviving hostages had returned from Gaza and the remains of the murdered had been brought home. The review believed the day should have focused on the victims, the survivors, and the relatives. The review criticized Sveriges Radio for instead directing attention towards employee Sami Abu Salem in Gaza. The author also questioned why SVT Rapport, after a segment from the memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv, had presented Gilda Hamidi-Nia's documentary "The World's Most Hated?", which according to the review had been published three days before the anniversary and dealt with how Israeli soldiers were mapped on social media and accused of suspected war crimes in Gaza. The review stated that SVT's live broadcast from the ceremony repeatedly shifted the focus from the victims and their relatives to Israel's warfare, genocide allegations against Israel and the IDF, as well as the war in Gaza. The author argued that the coverage showed a lack of judgment, proportion, and respect, and asked why the victims were not allowed to be at the center of the memorial day. https://t.co/unFDFBluFH #Hamas #Israel #minnesdag (translated)

"I do not feel fully comfortable with the idea that society needs such purification or catharsis after so much time - that people must be identified, humiliated, shamed, and punished when they have either already died or moved on to another stage of life." "Then I turned the spotlight on the crowd and saw an audience of about 1,000 people spinning around, trying to see who the informants might be," said Muller, 74, in his studio, smiling. #Ungaria #Comunism #Reconciliere (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Magdalena Andersson, according to him, exploited the anniversary of the massacre on October 7, which he described as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, to incite against Israel.
