After several years of strong development, during which AcadeMedia has established itself as a quality leader and expanded to become Europe's largest education player, we now want to strengthen the board for the continued journey. We are convinced that these two new members will bring significant value, and we see their experience as a valuable addition to the board's future work, says Rune Andersson, Chairman of AcadeMedia's Nomination Committee. Annie Lööf has broad experience and great competence from both public and private sectors. Her experience in leadership, strategic issues, and regulatory environments will be an important addition to the board and AcadeMedia's continued development, believes Rune Andersson. Fredrik Rågmark has solid experience in building and developing operations within the welfare sector, both in Sweden and internationally. His long experience as a business leader and board member, along with his experience in international expansion, will be a significant complement to AcadeMedia's board, continues Rune Andersson. #AcadeMedia #styrelse #AnnieLööf (translated)

The waste representative wrote that MUCF, after information from Säpo about links to the Eritrean regime, demanded back just over one million tax kroner from the Eritrean National Association, but did not send an invoice for almost two years. According to the post, this only happened when Kvartal began to ask questions. The waste representative called it deeply concerning that journalists seemed to have a better grip on the agency's recovery efforts than MUCF itself, which according to the post distributed half a billion kronor a year. https://t.co/99ytHdRf5Q #Säpo #Eritrea #MUCF (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that MUCF, after information from Säpo about connections to the Eritrean regime, demanded back just over one million kronor from the Eritrean National Association. Almost two years later, the authority had still not sent any invoice, he claimed, and it was only when Kvartal started asking questions that the oversight was discovered. Schatz criticized the Tidö government for not abolishing the authority and described it as unforgivable. https://t.co/Q3eNOdNVMe #Sverige #politik #myndigheter (translated)

Carl G Nilsson (M) raises questions in his debate article about the Center Party's resistance to collaborating with the Sweden Democrats to create a bourgeois government, despite the party being able to accept support from the Left Party. #Centerpartiet #BorgerligRegering #Sverigedemokraterna (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson questioned after a discussion with Martin Ådahl whether there was any other party that the Center Party considered sufficiently acceptable. She wrote that C had tolerated the Social Democrats and the Green Party because they had previously agreed to govern with bourgeois economic policy so that C would not collaborate with the Sweden Democrats. At the same time, she argued, C had criticized S for its migration policy and rejected the Left Party despite V agreeing with C on the issue. Gabrielsson contrasted this with what she described as a contradiction in the Center Party's rhetoric on decency. She pointed to ministers from the Moderates whom she considered increasingly Trump-like and accused them of going after journalists and conducting negative campaigns, as well as statements from the KD leader, the right's talk of voters as voting cattle, and comments from Member of Parliament Lars Beckman (M) and Alice Teodorescu (KD), whom she described as conspiracy theorists. She wrote that Ådahl and C seemed to believe that the former alliance parties did not really support their current policy, but had been kidnapped by SD and deep down wanted to return to the era of Fredrik Reinfeldt. Gabrielsson argued that Ådahl and Magdalena Andersson seemed to think that the parties would return to the center when the Tidö cooperation ended. She called the view condescending and emphasized that the changes could also have been made deliberately and voluntarily. During the election campaign, Gabrielsson stated, she had spoken with a leading center-right politician from Stockholm about more people voting for SD in the area where she grew up. She recounted that she had highlighted material and social reasons for dissatisfaction and mentioned a neighbor who worked almost around the clock on his farm and cleared snow in half of Norrland during the winters. According to Gabrielsson, the center-right politician had responded that a difficult life did not excuse a vote for SD, as others with difficult lives did not vote for the party. Gabrielsson also relayed that her father, who grew up in Ockelbo, used to refer to C and the farmers as "the right aristocracy." On Tuesday, he had told her that he had closed the door on a DN Kultur journalist who wanted to discuss the family's background and life in the countryside and in the industrial town of Åmotsbruk. Her father had also criticized C as the worst party of the day and said he preferred the party when it was at least a farmers' party. Gabrielsson wrote that she had corrected him, but at the same time agreed that a party with 7 percent could be perceived as self-satisfied if it assumed that others would follow its line. #Centerpartiet #Sverige #politik (translated)

Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that a number of questions had been prepared for Cecilia Uddén in a live broadcast on Sveriges Radio Ekot. The sender claimed to have taken an interrogator training course during their training to become a non-commissioned officer and believed they could handle the question session.

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, had not been improvised. According to the site, exercises, weapon caches, and a tunnel system that later Israeli assessments estimated to be hundreds of kilometers long had been built up over at least a decade. The site questioned to what extent it could be substantiated that the work had been financed with aid and why the expansion was hardly visible in the news coverage from Gaza during the same period. Ledarsidorna.se specifically pointed out Sveriges Radio's foreign correspondent Cecilia Uddén and wrote that she had questions to answer. #svpol #Israel #Hamas #Gaza (translated)
