Merit Wager wrote that Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen had said that Finland should not accept traditions, cultures, or customs that limited girls' freedom. According to the Swedish translation that Wager shared, Valtonen believed that girls and women should be able to decide over their own lives, and that religious or cultural norms should not be used to restrict their freedom. Wager also recounted Valtonen's statement that the National Coalition Party wanted to ban face-covering garments, such as the burqa and niqab, in schools and other educational institutions. Valtonen had said that the government led by the National Coalition Party had strengthened the rights of girls and women by more clearly criminalizing forced marriages and female genital mutilation. She had described female genital mutilation as violence and said that every girl had the right to bodily integrity. According to Wager's account, Valtonen also emphasized that equality, individual freedom, and human rights should not be overridden by references to religion, culture, or tradition. Every girl should have the right to be seen, heard, dream, and shape her future based on her own desires, she had said. #Jämställdhet #MänskligaRättigheter #KvinnorsRättigheter (translated)

The economist 𝕏 🇸🇪 wrote that the capital gains tax on real estate was unreasonable because the purchase price was not adjusted for inflation, while the selling price was increased. As an example, the writer took a house that was sold for 7 million kronor after being purchased for 2 million 20 years earlier. According to the writer, the capital gain would then be calculated at 5 million kronor and the state would receive 1.1 million, despite the fact that the state had not contributed to the increase in value. #reavinstskatt #bostadsmarknad #inflation (translated)

Zygfryd Czaban wrote that the prime minister's son was interested in the local railway, and for several years the entire country was supposed to spend billions on his hobby. He criticized the departure from the CPK spokes, the "Y" project, and actions for the 10 million Poles excluded from transport. He stated that the money was intended for an investment resembling, as he put it, a tram that was overpaid ten times. #transport #kolej #Polska (translated)

Flux wrote that a traveler heading to Turkey was stopped at Arlanda in April 2022 with 3,518,750 kronor in cash in a suitcase. The traveler stated, according to the post, that the money would be used for an apartment purchase and came from, among other things, the sale of watches and a property. According to Flux, the police's investigation showed that the person's expenses were significantly greater than could be explained by their legal income, and that reliable documentation regarding the money's origin was lacking. The original criminal investigation was dropped because a connection to a specific crime could not be proven, wrote Flux. Flux stated that the Stockholm District Court decided on September 29, 2026, that the entire sum would be forfeited under the regulations on independent forfeiture. The post referred to the Police as the source. #brott #kontanter #förverkande (translated)

Dr. Tallinger wrote that for four years no opposition with a government alternative to the Tidö government had emerged. He claimed that politicians and the media had misled the Swedish population by giving the impression that voters could vote for such an alternative, and believed that the situation should prompt voters to react strongly. He argued that a new election was reasonable because the Social Democrats, according to him, had given false assurances to the voters. https://t.co/Or8UjmkEsK #Sverige #politik #demokrati (translated)

Hamid wrote that schools should act when children are absent from education by reporting it to social authorities and the Social Insurance Agency, as well as withdrawing child benefits. Otherwise, according to him, school attendance could risk becoming a paper tiger. https://t.co/E4oQibpyS3 #Skolplikt #Barnskydd #Socialtjänst (translated)

The use of weight loss medication has increased sharply and is expected to lead to a sales loss of between 18 and 37 billion kronor for the grocery trade in Sweden during the period 2026–2035, which requires retail companies to adjust their offerings to meet new consumer habits. #viktminskning #dagligvaruhandel #svenskhandel (translated)

Klaus Riskær Pedersen criticized the former and current government for the handling of the CPR register. He wrote that systematic data collection could have taken place without being stopped by the security systems and called it a political scandal that required immediate accountability. Pedersen claimed that the problems were due to Minister of Interior and Housing Christian Rabjerg Madsen awarding the operation of the CPR system to the American company DXC Technology in 2022. He also criticized former Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, stating that the tender in 2021 was carried out under the GPA agreement, which allowed American companies to bid. According to Pedersen, the agreement allowed for the exclusion of foreign bidders on grounds of security and vital national interests, and he believed that the CPR register, which he described as critical infrastructure, should not have been entrusted to a foreign company. He placed the responsibility for the lack of control systems on the Agency for Digitization and believed that the government's leadership bore political accountability for the appointments. He wrote that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had not made the decision herself but had appointed a political leadership that he considered lacking in professionalism and experience. He also claimed that the government had been so preoccupied with the war in Europe by the end of 2022 that it had not concerned itself with the CPR system. Furthermore, Pedersen criticized that the Parliament, in his opinion, would choose Henrik Frandsen from the Moderates as chairman, even though Frandsen had only served in Parliament for four years. He described Frandsen as unworthy of the position and accused him of serious moral shortcomings. Pedersen wrote that all Danish citizens must remain vigilant until those responsible figured out whether new CPR numbers were necessary, suggesting that Russia would be to blame. He alleged that businesses' access to the register had been shut down, causing chaos, and that the lack of identity verification could make it difficult for public institutions to hire educators. He compared the situation to previous problems in the police's data systems. #Inkompetence #Politik #Danmark (translated)

Glenn wrote that 90–95 percent of Swedes, according to him, believed that anyone who had cheated or provided incorrect information in an application should lose the grants or benefits that the information had granted access to. He stated that support for that principle was broad within the education system, the tax system, the benefits system, in job applications, and among insurance companies. At the same time, he felt that the requirement for truth seemed to weigh less in issues concerning residence permits and citizenship, and wondered why. Glenn wrote that the right to reside in the country and citizenship were among Sweden's most important laws, and questioned how it could be seen as a lesser problem if such decisions were based on lies. He argued that the debate placed disproportionately great importance on smaller issues compared to this. #Sverige #Medborgarskap #Rättvisa (translated)

One of them provided a foreign power with information and didn't even manage to book a room to inform the prime minister about the "incident"; the other remained silent about the security breaches for over a year despite being aware of them. https://t.co/6YZrMr436F #säkerhet #information #incident (translated)

Men @svtnyheter krimreporter var ju i Borlänge och försäkrade i Aktuellt att det inte fanns några oegentligheter i Borlänge. Båda versionerna kan inte vara sanna helt enkelt. Antingen har SVT rätt eller så har Fokus rätt. Jag vet vem som jag personligen tror på. #journalistik #Borlangemedia #SVT

Vad lever vi i för clownland? ”Om ingen part begär en så kallad omprövning av skuldsaneringsbeslutet innebär det att riksdagsledamoten inte behöver betala skulden. Myndigheten kan alltså inte på eget initiativ ompröva beslutet, även om den får uppgifter om att den skuldsanerades ekonomi har förbättrats, tillägger Daniel Kinnerup. Kronofogden får heller inte göra kontroller. Detta eftersom ett saneringsbeslut är tänkt att vara det slutgiltiga lösningen på problemet, förklarar myndigheten.” Kanske dags för CSN, Försäkringskassan, region Dalarna, Trafikförsäkringsföreningen eller Mohamed själv att begära omprövning? Man kan ju tycka att det ligger i skattebetalarnas intressen. #skuldsanering #politik #Sverige
