Last week’s election brought a disappointing outcome for the far-right Sweden Democrats: A populist party that made its name opposing immigration lost vote share instead of grasping power. Here are 11 lessons Europe can learn from it 👇 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/why-...
Tyckare tycker, medan forskare forskar. Sen får ju var och en välja vem man lyssnar på. I populismens tidevarv lär nog den förstnämnda gruppen slå hårdare. #svpol
Flera partier ställer in kampanjande och alla partiledare prioriterar infomöte om morden i Fagersta, utom en. Men jag utgår från att ingen är förvånad. Den sk. nationalisten prioriterar sitt parti framför landet. Som alltid. #svpol
Enligt studier (Pew research 2023)är svenskarna det folk som reser mest av alla i världen. Ändå tycks det som att vi inte vet någonting om vår omgivning. Partierna slåss om att sänka bränslepriserna (redan billigast i Europa) och matpriserna (redan billigare än alla grannländer).
Another terror act by far-right extremists, showing what young people are able to do in a desperate longing for a unity that never existed. Islamism is no different from fascism. It's conservatism taken to the extreme.
Europeans look down on the US after Trump, but Europe is just a step behind. Right wing populist, one step from full fledged fascists, show how low european voters are willing to go. Anyone who assume there is some sort of difference in culture that will protect us need to rethink. #europe #EU

2026 Reporters Without Borders Index: press freedom at a 25-year low: rsf.org/en
omni.se/a/d47gRq Kjell-Arne Ottosson, kristdemokrat och vice ordförande i Miljö- och jordbruksutskottet: "Det var många skogsägare som inte fick avverka så som de hade tänkt sig". Nej, Kjell-Arne, det är ju liksom det som är poängen med lagstiftning. Att alla inte alltid får göra som dom tänkt sig.
If any American wonders how Europe currently views the USA and its president, here’s the editorial from Sweden’s most conservative paper. This is a moderate, balanced take. Some are far more critical.

Skogsindustrins klimatargument sågas i ännu en studie.
I know I’m stating the obvious, but even his own people confirm he’s a double liar about the war. Iran hasn’t tried to restart its nuclear program, and its leadership still functions despite the bombings. None of the so-called war goals are true.
I don't believe I have ever seen the leader of a major nation sound so bitter. In fact he sound just like a little spoiled boy who has been denied something he craves. "I don't need you! I don't need anybody. I'm a big boy I can manage on my own!" It's impossible to feel anything but contempt.
"...if they rise, they rise, but this is far more important than having gasoline prices go up a little bit." So, this is the America first principle? Nation building in the middle east before consumer prices in America. What's different from any previous president?
Sippa högerdebattörer trängs om att uppröras över skolmaten (tonåringar tvingas äta en köttfri måltid någon gång i veckan). Lifvendahl drar det så långt att enbart smaken ska avgöra skolmaten och backar Kullgrens debattartikel häromdagen.
Jag minns själv när jag var barn och klagade på skolmaten. Det fanns inte en vuxen inom tre kilometers radie som var intresserad av att ömka en för det. Man åt vad som serverades, eller så lät man bli och fick gå hungrig. Vuxenvärlden hade annat att göra än att pjoska om den saken.

Trump sends an invite. You say yes or no. Say yes, you’re asked to pay up big to stay, otherwise leave. Say no, you get threatened with punishment unless you switch to yes. Maybe this is why Trump has no friends. #trump #uspolitics #macron #usa #france
What real influencers don’t realize is that to most people they aren’t real either. Social media influencers are tripping over their own feet. Over curated content is faked from the start so it can just as well be AI generated. The consumers loose nothing.
Either you dismiss Trump, or you agree with him. Every significant European leader has done the former. Sweden’s government chooses the latter.
US is Russia’s advocate in Ukraine talks, not a neutral negotiator. who is Ukraines advocate? If it’s EU then it’s time to step up. Europeans can’t continue to believe US is on our side.
Does this mean Trump has now ensured the documents are sufficiently manipulated to be released? Or is he just capitulating to an inevitable fact, trying to keep up the illusion of control?

If Hamas doesn’t disarm itself, but is disarmed by Israel/USA it’s not a peace treaty, it’s defeat. That, paired with the thousands of palestinians that have lost siblings, parents, cousins and friends makes the perfect ground for recruitment of terrorists. No everlasting peace in sight.
Orban: ”Ukraine is not a sovereign country, Ukraine is financed by us, the West gives it funds, weapons," Just like Hungary then! EU finance Hungary, so what’s the difference?
Sweden was once among the most equal countries in Europe. Today, it is one of the least equal. This shift is not the result of the poor becoming poorer, nor of entrepreneurs building vast new fortunes.
The constitution turned out to be more sturdy in Brazil than in USA. For now at least. Is this the beginning of an era of South American countries becoming the beacons of democracy on the American continents and surpassing USA?
