Agnes Wold wrote to Sara Persson that her program "Ask Agnes Wold" would not be heard on state radio. She wrote that in her opinion it was not due to their discussion of transgender issues, but ironically suggested that it was important to prevent too many outspoken individuals from being heard in Sweden, as such things could spread. #Sverige #Yttrandefrihet #Transfrågor (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote about his visit to Pézenas in southern France and described the Hôtel de Flottes de Sébasan, a stone house from the 16th century. According to local tradition, Anna of Austria, the queen of France and mother of Louis XIV, had stayed there during a visit, he wrote. Sfeir recounted that Anna was a Spanish princess who married Louis XIII in 1615 when she was 14 years old. After 23 years without children, she gave birth to her son Louis in 1638. When the king died five years later, the then four-year-old son became king and Anna regent. Sfeir wrote that the royal family was forced to flee Paris during the Fronde and that the rebellion later contributed to Louis XIV's decision to centralize power around himself. He also mentioned Molière's stay in Pézenas during the 1650s with his theater company, which received patronage from the Prince of Conti. Sfeir wrote that Molière encountered people and environments there that later became subjects of his satire. According to Sfeir, Louis XIV visited the city in 1660 and took over the reins of power the following year. He concluded by stating that the house still stood, despite the monarchy and its power struggles being part of history. #Pézenas #historia #Molière (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that the Nobel laureate Navi Pillay had already defended censorship over freedom of speech back in September 2012. He referred to her statements about Charlie Hebdo's Muhammad cartoons: Pillay had called the publication "double irresponsible," described the cartoons as malevolent and deliberately provocative, and said that she understood why people wanted to protest strongly. Schatz accused Swedish commentators of now praising this view of extremism and freedom of speech. #yttrandefrihet #censur #politik (translated)

Sweden's position is the same as it has been since February 24, 2022: We stand by Ukraine as long as it is necessary. Now the pressure on Russia must increase and support for Ukraine must be further strengthened. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) says he regrets US President Donald Trump's deal with Russia regarding diesel deliveries. #Ukraina #Trump #Ryssland (translated)

Ulf Kristersson wrote that Sweden had stood by Ukraine's side since February 24, 2022, and would continue to do so as long as it was necessary. He called for increased pressure on Russia and stronger support for Ukraine. Kristersson lamented the U.S. agreement with Russia regarding diesel supplies and stated that energy revenues were central to the Russian war chest. He indicated that the EU would on Monday adopt its most comprehensive sanctions package to date, with 1,600 sanctions listings targeting the Russian military-industrial complex. He urged more countries to counter the Russian shadow fleet and eventually use frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. He also emphasized the need for close coordination within the EU and with the U.S., the U.K., and other international partners. According to Kristersson, the broad political support and public engagement for Ukraine in Sweden were a strength, and Ukraine's freedom and sovereignty remained Sweden's top foreign policy priority. #Ukraina #Sverige #Ryssland (translated)

Compound interest wrote that the Center Party and the Green Party should not cooperate. According to the writer, the Center Party's view on individual freedom was in sharp conflict with the Green Party's elitism and support for tyranny and oppression of individuals, which the writer argued aimed to benefit the upper class in the inner city. The writer also believed that Current Affairs should broadcast what the post described and criticized the program for not highlighting the conflict. #politiksverige #yttrandefrihet #demokrati (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that she did not see it as a problem that the left was critical of B.T.'s conservative profile. On the contrary, she believed that praise from left-leaning politicians and commentators would be a cause for concern, as it could indicate that the media had deviated from its conservative line. She argued that B.T.'s direct conservatism scared a left that had had a significant influence on media debate for decades. According to Selsing, the left only supported conservative viewpoints it could control, and the more subdued conservatism had followed the left's norms of shaming, censorship, and cancellation. She wrote that this type of conservatism had dominated the Danish media landscape until a few years ago, and that the situation still prevailed outside of B.T. Selsing believed that B.T.'s success was partly due to the media offering conservative perspectives and analyses that the readers and viewers, according to her, could not find elsewhere. She criticized other media for presenting uniform headlines and analyses and for expressing outrage over differing opinions. She wrote that actors with interests in conformity and censorship therefore reacted strongly to B.T., and that she would be more concerned if they did not. #Borgerlighed #MedieDebat #Ytringsfrihed (translated)
