The author wrote that the postponed Palestinian elections could provide Hamas with a strategic breathing space to re-establish itself as a political power and secure influence over Gaza's future, despite the movement having agreed to renounce formal control over the area. #Palestinavalen #Hamas #Gaza #PS #IL #GA (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)

A study from Akavia shows that academics with their own disabilities or who have children with disabilities experience diminished influence over their work tasks, lost career opportunities, and poorer well-being, highlighting the need for increased awareness and structures in workplaces to support these groups. #Funktionsnedsättning #Karriärmöjligheter #Akademiker (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding why the Social Democrats did not listen to the Left Party, both with regard to common electoral promises and to the interests of the Social Democrats and voters. She stated that the Left Party had said since the time after the January Agreement that the party would demand influence in a government if its mandate was needed. Since the mandates were now required for the Social Democrats to form a government, Gabrielsson argued that the Left Party should be included. For Magdalena Andersson to be elected, the Social Democrats, according to her, needed to accept this and begin working towards a four-party government. She referred to the fact that the Social Democrats had 28 percent, not 45, and wrote that the party therefore needed to share and cooperate in a coalition government. #politiksverige #koalitionsregering #valse2022 (translated)

The writer stated that the Muslim Brotherhood had long been building networks in Europe and described Islamism as a political ideology that sought to increase its influence over society. The writer argued that this development needed to be stopped and that open societies needed to defend themselves against forces that exploited their freedom and openness. The left was accused of turning a blind eye to this. https://t.co/Lqx2Ixse7v #Islamism #Öppenhet #Sammanhållning #EU #SE (translated)

On October 9, a seminar will be held by Sieps where a new analysis of the political dynamics in the European Parliament is presented, with a particular focus on the influence of right-leaning groups after the 2024 election and how this affects coalitions and majorities within EU decisions. #Europaparlamentet #EUpolitiken #koalitioner (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Young Left had called for demonstrations against Israel on October 7, the anniversary of what he described as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He accused the Left Party of antisemitism, terror romanticism, and extremism, stating that parties that gave V direct or indirect political influence – including C, S, and MP – would be complicit in what he called a "moral perversion." #Antisemitism #Demonstration #Vänsterpartiet (translated)

The election on October 4 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where three presidents and 75 parties are competing for influence, is seen as a decisive crossroads between increased ethnic nationalism and the pursuit of EU membership. #BosnienHercegovina #Val2026 #EtniskNationalism (translated)

Nooshi Dadgostar participated before the election in meetings with both the Stockholm mosque and the Somali National Association. The arrangements were not secret, but the Left Party seems not to have reported her participation or what the party took away from the discussions. When organizations explicitly seek political influence and at the same time meet with a party leader, there is a legitimate public interest in openness. This is written by Sameh Egyptson in Bulletin. #politik #öppenhet #Vänsterpartiet (translated)

Anders Ygeman and I were on Aktuellt. C did not want to come. Those of us who were there agreed that we must move forward now, even though we did not have quite the same view on how. But the alleged V and M bloc seems to have no one arguing for it for long. Good! Four parties have won the election, and therefore we should govern together. V has erased our stance towards C, now it's time for C to do the same job. Without V in the government, agreements on policy will not hold; it will just be nice words on paper. Before we negotiate policy, we must of course agree on who will implement the policy and in what way; otherwise, the negotiations will be blind. S and MP now need to put pressure on C so that they also erase their stance. It's not about bickering but about making sure that all four are respected equally. That V should solve this by themselves when C even declines the invitation for coffee does not feel reasonable. Mutual trust can only be built if all parties’ voters are respected. I sent this to S, and I also think that MP needs to step up. Otherwise, nothing will happen if C is just allowed to remain in their own room. That MP claims during the election campaign that they want V involved is good, also for MP, whose voters have that perception. But talking about something is not the same as working for it, and more than V needs to do that if there is going to be a new government. So far, all pressure has been directed at V, even though V does not say no to any party in Magdalena Andersson's support and that our "stance" only pertains to our own party's right to influence. To be "neutral" in a situation where one party does not respect another is not being a good "friend." And without pressure on C to accept V equally, we will get no government negotiations where we can start to give and take in the actual policy. I believe that is what the voters want to see and expect from us! #politik #regering #val2023 (translated)

C and V do not have equal lines to "erase," would it have been better if V also went to the polls with demands on C outside? V has demands for itself, not against others. It is C that must respect the entire government support if Magdalena Andersson is to be elected. C needs to find another triumph than V outside the government, for we will not accept that. One cannot have as the most important question "no positions/influence" for a party one asks for mandates from. Last in the January agreement was the trophy C wanted to showcase to its conservative colleagues, LAS, market rents, and privatized employment agency. This time it is instead V outside. Or one could also try to cooperate. Just a thought. #politik #Sverige #regering (translated)

Demokratin fungerar tydligen inte i Sverige. Trots att cirka 17,5 % har röstat på SD tycker Centern att de får för stort inflytande. Men är det inte det som kallas demokrati när svenska folket har valt det? Att Centern bara fick 7 % är inte konstigt.🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/Pz2fKgsfNn #demokrati #Sverige #politik

När C-ledaren pekar ut Ulf Kristersson (M) att få nästa sonderingsuppdrag – ”duckar hon” sitt eget och Centerpartiets avgörande inflytande i valet av statsminister – Och när opartiska @SVT låter C-ledaren oemotsagd säga att "Kristersson bör få uppdraget" misslyckas @SVT med sitt journalistiska uppdrag – när den uppenbara motfrågan inte ställs: "Om Kristersson får uppdraget – kommer ni i Centerpartiet att släppa fram honom som statsminister – om han är beroende av SD – eller kommer ni rösta nej? Eftersom den uppenbara följdfrågan inte ställs av @SVT – tvingas inte C-ledaren ”lägga korten på bordet” – och @SVT misslyckas därmed med sitt ”granskande och ansvarsutkrävande” journalistiska uppdrag. @SVTNyheter #journalistik SVT: Thand Ringqvist (C): Kristersson borde få sondera https://t.co/8BZhMhJQl0 #journalistik #svpol #politik

Debatten om Borlängevalet har handlat om förkryssade valsedlar och ordet klan. Men det material, inte bara medieuppgifter, som finns tillgängligt i främst öppna arkiv och andra källor visar dock något annat. Det visar ett öppet och personligt nätverksbygge mellan Somalias försvars- och säkerhetsledning och två svensksomaliska nätverk. Nätverket byggdes steg för steg med svenska offentliga medel. Inledningsvis användes det för att motarbeta extremism, sedan för att öka valdeltagandet och slutligen för att maximera somaliskt inflytande i ett svenskt riksdagsval. OBS: Ganska lång artikel, men nödvändigt. https://t.co/GY7xfUn94P #svpol #Borlängevalet #svenskpolitik #klansamhället

Intressant att så många (äntligen) förstått att det inte är rimligt att använda partiers mandat utan att de ska få inflytande. Det var det vi på GP:s ledarsida påtalade för 11 år sedan kring SD och då blev det ett himla liv - om det också. #politik #inflytande #SD #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Återigen – ett möte som inte redovisats väcker frågor Igår skrev jag om Nooshi Dadgostars deltagande vid Stockholms moskés 25-årsjubileum. Nu väcks liknande frågor kring hennes deltagande vid Somaliska riksförbundets årsmöte förra året. Varken Vänsterpartiet eller Somaliska riksförbundet har offentligt redovisat mötet eller vilka frågor som diskuterades där. Vad handlade samtalen om? Diskuterades jämställdhet och frågor som barnslöjor, kvinnlig könsstympning och niqab? Eller handlade mötet om politisk representation, kandidater och vallistor? Jag vill också veta hur Vänsterpartiet ser på risken att patriarkala eller klanbaserade maktstrukturer får politiskt inflytande under begrepp som mångkultur, representation och samverkan. Frågan är särskilt relevant eftersom jag redan den 12 januari 2026, åtta månader före valet, varnade i Fokus för klan- och nätverksbaserad mobilisering och för hur sådan kollektiv mobilisering kan påverka personval och partiernas interna processer. Artikeln hade rubriken ”Ändra valsystemet – klanröster urholkar demokratin”. Valresultatet aktualiserar nu frågor som Vänsterpartiet bör besvara öppet: Hur arbetar partiet för att förhindra att släkt-, klan- eller andra kollektiva maktstrukturer får inflytande över nomineringar, personröster och politisk representation? Varför har så lite offentlig information lämnats om dessa möten med organisationer som gör anspråk på att företräda större grupper? Har det förekommit andra liknande möten med organisationer som inte har redovisats i partiets egna kanaler? Demokratin bygger på transparens, individens fria val och individuella rättigheter – inte på att kollektiv får kontroll över individens politiska val eller på slutna möten utan offentlig redovisning. Jag ser fram emot Nooshi Dadgostars svar. Sameh Egyptson Riksdagsersättare (KD) #Demokrati #Transparens #Politik

Det är ett gigantiskt problem att Sv utrikes-, säkerhets- o försvarspolitik läggs under inflytande av Vänsterpartiet. Det större problemet är att Magdalena Andersson aldrig varit mogen uppgiften. Hon är testad i skarpt läge. Föll igenom. Nu faller hon igenom igen. #politik #Sverige #MagdalenaAndersson

Finlands president Alexander Stubb betonar på ett nyligt IVA-arrangerat lunchseminarium vikten av nordiskt samarbete för små ekonomier som Finland och Sverige att utöva inflytande genom innovationskapacitet och forskning, trots deras begränsade ekonomiska storlek och militär styrka. #NordisktSamarbete #Innovation #Europa

Klokt av Avci. Sverige har tyvärr nått en punkt där vi måste överväga säkerhetsprövning av riksdagsledamöter, ministrar och tjänstemän. Bullerbyn är ett minne blott. När främmande makt, extremister och kriminella nätverk söker politiskt inflytande får demokratin aldrig vara naiv. #Demokrati #Säkerhet #Politik
