Fredrik Johansson wrote that it had soon been four weeks since Tobias Baudin, whom he described as a beloved lottery profile and skilled door-to-door salesman, urged Ulf Kristersson to resign immediately. According to Johansson, Baudin therefore did not want to stand in the way of Magdalena Andersson (S), whom Johansson called a strong prime minister and Sweden's third most popular party leader, being able to take office. #Sverige #politk #lotteri (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

Energy revenues are the central element of Russia's war chest, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Stockholm regrets the agreement, "because energy revenues are the central element of Russia's war chest," and noted that the European Union will adopt its most comprehensive sanctions package on Monday targeting 1,600 individuals against Russia's military-industrial complex. #Ukraina #Tramps #Zelenskis (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

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)
