Ledarsidorna.se questioned whether Magdalena Andersson was suitable as prime minister and government builder. The writer described their personal image of her as fundamentally positive but criticized her actions in security policy issues. The writer pointed out that Andersson had said in spring 2022 that Swedish NATO membership would destabilize the region before she reportedly changed her stance when Finland moved toward membership. Ledarsidorna.se also referred to an interview in Politico where Andersson allegedly wanted a future government to place greater importance on "the global south." The writer claimed that this aligned with Vladimir Putin's interests and highlighted Russia's actions towards the Baltic states. The post also mentioned that Morgan Johansson, according to Ledarsidorna.se, had stated that the Social Democrats wanted to pause an association agreement with the EU. The writer asserted that this would undermine Sweden's and NATO's northern flank defense capability, as Israeli Elbit Systems was the main supplier of communication systems to the Swedish and Finnish armies. Ledarsidorna.se also criticized that five Social Democratic members of the European Parliament had voted against a resolution to counter Islamist entryism in the EU. The writer claimed, referencing their sources, that the decision had been made by the Social Democrats' executive committee on Sveavägen 68. The post stated that Andersson and the committee had a different assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood than French and German intelligence and security services, without providing the basis for this. The writer concluded by asserting that there were good reasons to ask whether Andersson wanted what was best for Sweden and the Swedish people. #svpol #Sverige #politik #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

Carl Eos wrote that the Swedish Academy had decided to award Cecilia Uddén the Nobel Prize in Literature and described her Middle Eastern reporting for Sveriges Radio as fiction that had freed itself from reality. He claimed that events and causal relationships in her reporting were subordinated to an internal narrative logic and mentioned Gaza, Beirut, and Damascus as environments that served as backdrops. According to Eos, the award rewarded a literary development in which the outside world no longer corrected what was depicted. #Nobelpriset #Litteratur #Journalistik (translated)

The review asked SVT journalists where the boundary between the Centre Party and the Green Party lay. The writer claimed that the Green Party was a particularly unsuitable partner if the Centre Party's main goals were the Swedish economy, growth, and entrepreneurship. According to the review, the Green Party combined the Left Party's anti-capitalism with a critique of civilization that viewed humanity's use of the earth as an intrusion. The review stated that the Green Party openly supported that view and wondered why the Centre Party nonetheless sought out the party to avoid collaborating with the Left Party. The writer questioned how the Centre Party reconciled its priorities with that choice. https://t.co/WCGhU4K3nM #politk #Sverige #journalistik (translated)

Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that the new chairman of the Left Party's education committee had described Swedish as "just a construct." Schatz called this yet another example of what he regarded as a reality-distorted view of national belonging and claimed that the Social Democrats, Center Party, and Green Party wanted to allow this to dictate Swedish education policy through their agreement with the Left Party. https://t.co/x4YY2E466U #Utbildning #SvenskPolitik #Nationalism (translated)

HWL wrote that Lula da Silva was expected to lose to Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazil and claimed that it would be Lula's first electoral defeat since 1998. He also stated that the left had lost every election in Latin America since Trump cut USAID in 2025. HWL described the development as the world healing and wrote that reality eventually caught up. https://t.co/d1AodWEFZu #Brasilien #Politik #Världen (translated)

The post referred to Linnea's description of how a bloody sheet would prove that a friend was an honorable woman. The writer stated that honor-related oppression, despite decades of debate, was still a brutal reality for many girls and described it as an attack on people's freedom. (translated)

The writer described the text as detached from reality and argued that it showed a lack of understanding of the situation for people who are dependent on cars but cannot afford an electric vehicle. They also claimed that gasoline tourism was very profitable for Sweden and that it contributed significant tax revenues to the state treasury. https://t.co/yIyt3X0oeK #bilar #ekonomi #transport (translated)

To acknowledge how the election has gone is not racism or misogyny. It is seeing reality for what it is. And the election result depends on clan voting. We have welcomed people here from cultures where family and clan are everything. And trust in outsiders is non-existent. We were one of the countries in the world with the highest trust in state institutions – and brought in people from countries without institutions or where the institutions are so corrupt that they are entirely justified in distrusting them.

In August 2025, @svtnyheter reported an analysis stating that "around 200 reporters and journalists" had been killed during the war in Gaza up to that point. @sr_ekot has also continuously covered the issue and relayed similar information. The Israeli military (IDF) claims that it has determined that 170 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who were alleged to be journalists after their deaths, were in fact members of terrorist groups. "After extensive investigations, the IDF can now disclose that 170 Gazans who were killed during the war, and who have been presented as journalists and media workers, were actually acting as terrorists for terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip – primarily Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad," the army states. According to the military, 118 of the journalists were active within Hamas's military branch, 49 within Islamic Jihad, two were members of the People's Resistance Committees, and one belonged to the Mujahideen Brigades. Seventeen of these journalists, also terrorists, are said by the army to have participated in the attacks on Israeli territory on October 7, 2023. Some of the journalists on the IDF's list have also worked for international media, including Reuters, CNN, Australian ABC, BBC, AFP, AP, and Le Monde. The 170 cases have been published by the IDF on a special website. For each person, their name and role as a journalist and terrorist activist are recorded, along with their civilian and military ID numbers. The military states that it publishes "verified evidence, including images and documents produced by the terrorist organizations, some of which have been found on site, which show these terrorists' organizational affiliation and the roles they had within the terrorist organizations." The IDF emphasizes that various international media outlets during the course of the war "have repeatedly, and without presenting verified information, accused Israel and the IDF of intentionally harming journalists." "This despite the fact that terrorist organizations in some cases have themselves presented these individuals as terrorists within their own ranks and even claimed responsibility for them," the IDF claims. "The information now being revealed illustrates the gap between the image presented to the world and the reality on the ground. It provides further and crucial evidence that the IDF does not intentionally and systematically target journalists, but rather terrorist organizations and their terrorists in accordance with international law," adds the military.

Henrik Vinge is, as usual, completely off the mark here. The idea that people in the suburbs would start voting for the Tidö parties just because they adjust their language use is so detached from reality that one wonders what planet Vinge is on. The only way for Tidö to win votes in the suburbs is by becoming more left: more benefits, more immigration, more cultural relativism, more Somalis on your parliamentary lists. If that is the path SD wants to take, I wish them all the luck. But then I find it hard to see what the point of the party really is. #politk #Sverige #Tidöpartierna (translated)

Vill S att V lämnar vår gemensamma kartell som gör att S, V, MP och C får majoritet i riksdagen och som våra gruppledare lämnade in till talmannen gemensamt efter voteringen igår? Att V ingår i denna avgör att ”vår sida” får majoritet i utskotten. Samtidigt står S och C i Aktuellt och påstår helt skamlöst att vi har en koalition med M, trots att det är C som påstås ”kunna gå över” pga dom vägrar samarbeta, och alla vet att V aldrig skulle rösta på Ulf. Detta är den mest ohederliga teater jag någonsin upplevt. Ursäktade gårdagens utfall med att S sagt detta av ren frustration, men dom tänker alltså på riktigt argumentera för den här linjen som inte nån människa kan köpa? Och dessutom inte kommer få nej-sägaren C att flytta sig en millimeter. Vilken bubbla tar övriga rödgröna fram sina strategier i? Inte är det ifrån det vi brukar kalla verkligheten. #politik #riksdagen #koalition

Den här klokskapen är tagen från Olof Heggli på Facebook som läser Berlngske: ”Danskarna tittar över Öresund... ”Vi borde diskutera vem som blir Sveriges nästa statsminister. Nu är ordet ’bananrepublik’ det alla talar om.” Danskarna har alltid varit duktiga på att sätta ord på saker. Ibland så duktiga att vi svenskar och nordmän har föredragit att diskutera deras ordval framför det de faktiskt försökte säga. Nu är det Berlingske som sätter ord på Sverige. Det är svårt att inte uppskatta formuleringen. Särskilt som danskarna under många år har betraktat svensk migrationspolitik ungefär som man betraktar en granne som grillar inomhus: först förvånat, sedan bekymrat och till sist med ett stilla intresse för när brandkåren kommer. Sverige har naturligtvis förklarat att danskarna inte förstått saken. De har varit för hårda, för misstänksamma och framför allt för danska. Vi hade den humanitära stormakten, värdegrunden och ett närmast obegränsat antal handlingsplaner. Om verkligheten inte passade politiken fick verkligheten helt enkelt arbeta med sin människosyn. Danmark stramade åt migrationspolitiken. Sverige stramade åt språkbruket kring migrationspolitiken. Danskarna diskuterade volymer, krav, parallella samhällen, hijab och integration. Sverige diskuterade tonen hos dem som diskuterade volymer, krav, parallella samhällen och integration… Det fungerade utmärkt… Åtminstone för tonen. Nu tittar danskarna på oss igen. Två veckor efter ett extremt jämnt riksdagsval borde Sverige diskutera vem som ska bli statsminister. I stället pågår en förundersökning om misstänkt otillbörligt verkande vid röstning i Borlänge. Vad som faktiskt har hänt är ännu inte fastställt, och ingen ska dömas i förväg. Det är en ganska viktig princip. Särskilt när grannländernas tidningar börjar använda ordet bananrepublik. Men Berlingskes verkliga poäng är större än Borlänge. Vad händer när den svenska demokratin möter täta familje-, etniska eller religiösa nätverk där politisk mobilisering kan få andra former än dem våra institutioner byggdes för? Att mobilisera väljare är självklart legitimt. Partier får informera på somaliska, arabiska eller värmländska om de tror att någon begriper det sistnämnda. Moskéer, kyrkor och föreningar får diskutera politik. Men det finns en gammalmodig liten detalj i demokratin: rösten tillhör väljaren. Inte familjen. Inte föreningen. Inte klanen. Inte imamen. Inte partiet… Väljaren. Det är ett förbluffande enkelt system. Därför har Sverige naturligtvis lyckats göra det komplicerat. Danskarna har i åratal frågat vad som händer när integration misslyckas. Sverige har oftast svarat genom att fråga varför danskarna uttrycker sig så negativt. Nu får rättsväsendet reda ut vad som faktiskt hände i Borlänge. Kanske visar sig misstankarna vara överdrivna. Kanske inte. Men Berlingskes rubrik säger något om hur långt den svenska självbilden har färdats. I åratal har danskarna tittat över Öresund och frågat: ”Vad håller svenskarna egentligen på med?” Vi svarade att Danmark var hårt, kallt och inte hade förstått den svenska modellen. Nu skriver Berlingske om Sverige och ordet bananrepublik hamnar i rubriken. Det betyder naturligtvis inte att Sverige är en bananrepublik… Det vore en alldeles förhastad slutsats. Men det är ändå fascinerande hur många av de frågor som Sverige en gång ansåg det oanständigt att ställa numera ställs av Sverige självt. Danskarna behöver egentligen inte säga ”vad var det vi sa?” De behöver bara vänta. Sverige brukar komma ikapp. Det tar bara tjugo år och en statlig utredning” #Sverige #Danmark #Demokrati

Det intressanta med svensk nationell politik nu är att allt är osannolikt men något måste ske. Något osannolikt alternativ kommer bli verklighet. V får ministerposter i en regering som släpps fram av S-V-C-MP. Osannolikt. V ger upp och släpper utan egna ministerposter fram en regering som också stöds av S-C-MP. Osannolikt. M får statsministerposten i en regering som släpps fram av M-C-L-KD-SD. Osannolikt. S och M gör upp och bildar regering med stöd av något eller några mittenpartier. Osannolikt. Det blir extraval. Osannolikt. Allt är osannolikt! Ändå kommer med all sannolikhet något av ovanstående ske. #SvenskPolitik #Politik #Regering
