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)

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)

What I dislike is selling stocks. Especially stocks in fine companies that I want to own for a long time. But yes, now I am going to buy a home in a place I have dreamed of for a long time… It feels scary, as I am better at saving than spending money… 😅 It is important to remember what the purpose of investing actually is: Capital is ultimately just a tool to give you quality of life, freedom, and the opportunity to realize your dreams. #Investering #Livskvalitet #Ekonomi (translated)

Dawit Isaak har idag hållits fängslad utan rättegång i 25 år. Vi har stor förståelse för den djupa besvikelse och frustration som inte minst anhöriga känner. Vad Sverige tycker är känt: vi vill att Dawit Isaak ska friges av humanitära skäl så att han kan återförenas med sin familj i Sverige. Arbetet fortsätter löpande och med oförminskad kraft. #frihet #mänskligaRättigheter #DawitIsaak

”I en multietnisk och modern stat måste man välja mellan ordning, eller demokrati. Det är inte är möjligt att ha båda i sin mest fullständiga form samtidigt. Demokratins syfte är i grunden att ge valmöjligheter till dem som delar en gemensam samhällssyn, liknande etos och kulturella förutsättningar. Demokrati är inte möjlig i ett samhälle som saknar denna gemensamma grund, och för mycket "frihet och rättigheter" i ett sådant sammanhang leder endast till kaos och oordning, vilket i sin tur skapar behovet av en auktoritär ledare för att återupprätta ordningen” - Lee Kuan Yew. #Demokrati #Ordning #Samhälle
