The Tenants' Association expresses strong criticism of the decision by the arbitrators to increase rents by between 2.6 and 2.8 percent in 15 municipalities, and believes this underscores the need to reform the law on arbitrators to better protect tenants' rights. #hyreshöjning #skiljemän #hyresgäster (translated)

Leopold claimed that Nyans votes in Herrgården and Rosengård had gone to the Left Party, rather than disappeared. He wrote that Ettfolk could show the same pattern in 17 municipalities and argued that the Swedish electoral system was built for a society with high trust, which Sweden once had. https://t.co/7msBmWTj4N #Vänsterpartiet #Val2023 #SvenskPolitik (translated)

Leopold asked how many irregularities were required before the Election Review Board would assess that the integrity of the election was compromised. He wrote that what had emerged so far was just the tip of an iceberg and referred to information from the Election Authority about underreporting in nearly 60 municipalities. https://t.co/AFxjbVVANH #valintegritet #valfrågor #oegentligheter (translated)

At least 850 students are still missing in Swedish schools one month after the start of the term, according to a survey from Sveriges Radio Ekot, which shows that over 90 municipalities report that children have not returned after the summer break. #skolor #utbildning #elever (translated)

Leopold wrote that the media accused the public of fueling unfounded suspicions about the election, while they, according to him, did not investigate the information but instead tried to make those demanding answers doubt themselves. He stated that a group had collected over 1,000 testimonies and compared them with the Election Authority's incident reports. In 20 municipalities where residents had reported incidents to the group, there was, according to Leopold, not a single officially registered case. He questioned how the integrity of the election could be upheld without knowing how many incidents had occurred and claimed that the Election Authority and polling places had failed to report them. #Valintegritet #Media #Röstning (translated)

In the debate article, Adam Danieli suggests that Stockholm should be divided into several more well-defined municipalities to improve local politics and possibly benefit the more vulnerable areas, in light of the city's growing population and its current democratic problems. #Stockholm #kommunreform #lokalpolitik (translated)

Christian Sandström noted that business dealings between companies linked to politicians and the public sector amounted to 64 billion. He referred to Acta Publica's report "Elected Businesspeople – An Examination of Corruption and Infiltration Risks in Companies Linked to Politicians," where 2,584 companies that invoiced public entities could be linked to local politicians according to him. Sandström stated that 1,080 of the companies had done business with the municipality or region where the politician held their position. They billed these municipalities or regions a total of 3.7 billion kronor during 2022-2024, he wrote. He added that 50 companies had won contracts in the politicians' own municipalities or regions, with an estimated contract value of 4.6 billion kronor. He referred to Affärsvärlden for examples and a compilation of the parties' engagements. https://t.co/QNKGobpskk #korruption #politk #offentligsektor (translated)

Today's (so far) most important article is written by Sven Otto Littorin. He argues that Sweden has been a highly trusting society and that the electoral system is built for that. I, who can be a bit less diplomatic at times in public discourse, would say that our society and our democracy are in decline. Luckily, the decline is happening from a relatively high altitude. From the article: "The election administration has reported over 4,000 incidents to the Electoral Authority this year, compared to 489 in 2022. Part of the increase is due to the fact that reporting is now mandatory, but behind the numbers, there is a pattern that cannot be dismissed: Up until 4 PM on election day, over 300 incidents in the category of unlawful influence had been reported, of which around 90 involved group voting. The police have received 58 reports of improper conduct during voting. The National Anti-Corruption Unit is investigating suspected electoral fraud in Dalarna with pre-marked ballots, driven voters, and possible payments. In Stockholm, at least four vote collectors with ties to gang crime have received ballots, and no law prevents this. In four municipalities, nearly 600 votes have been lost or rejected. The Election Review Board has received nearly 12,000 appeals. The previous record from 2018 was 723." Regardless of everything else one might say about this, I agree with the author of the article on the need for "a parliamentary electoral integrity commission to be appointed immediately, with the task of presenting legislative proposals in time for the 2030 election." You can read about a number of proposals in the article. I don't know myself if I would support all of them, but it is a starting point. Personally, I can also add that it is a major problem that the left is currently trying to meet all discussions about shortcomings in the election with a dismissive attitude and attempts to discredit those who raise criticism or constructive proposals. The way in which debaters and the media have treated Peter Wennblad after his very concerning article about irregularities in Järva is in itself a sign of weaknesses in democracy. It tends to become a form of circular reasoning. If someone writes and talks about what sources report from Järva, Borlänge, or Rosengård, the criticism and reporting are labeled as a threat to democracy because questioning whether the election was conducted well is itself seen as a threat to democracy, which has the decidedly undemocratic consequence that the election and democracy cannot be discussed without democracy being threatened. Somehow, we must get over this. And move forward. Because I believe it is correct that our electoral system is not made for the society that Sweden has become. https://t.co/q9aqAMPRgE #Demokrati #Valfusk #Sverige (translated)

Kan vi lita på att valsedlarna var på plats? 241 av 770 granskade rapporter till ettfolk rör saknade eller bortplockade valsedlar. Från Stockholm, Malmö, Göteborg, Luleå, Karlskrona och dussintals andra kommuner. Det är inte ett lokalt problem, det är ett nationellt mönster. Flera av incidenterna är återkommande i Valmyndighetens egna incidentrapporter. I ett demokratiskt val måste vi kunna garantera att valsedlarna faktiskt ligger framme, för alla. Det kan vi inte. Tills någon prövat underlaget är frågan om valets integritet obesvarad. 159.000 kräver svar. Det är rimligt. #val #demokrati #valintegritet

Nu blev det spännande på riktigt. Norrlandspartiet gör stor succé och kliver rakt in i 7 kommuner på bara 9 månader. De kräver självstyre och pekar på att Norrland varit "lika rikt som Qatar" med Norges system, medan Sthlm mjölkar regionen på miljarder. Vad säger ni om detta? https://t.co/Iz3fZIux1X #Norrland #självstyre #politik

Idag har underlaget lämnats till Polismyndighetens registrator, uppdelat på de sju polisregionerna plus ett nationellt dokument. 770 granskade rapporter från 191 kommuner. Inte bevis för omval. Underlag som ska kunna prövas. Valmyndigheten har fått samma sammanställning. I morgon går den till Valprövningsnämnden. Fristen går ut 29 september. Vi sa att vi skulle samla, gallra och lämna in. Det är gjort. Resten är inte vårt att avgöra! 🇸🇪🇸🇪 #Polis #Valmyndigheten #Sverige

🔴Över 100 anställda inom äldreomsorgen i Växjö är dömda Över 100 anställda inom äldreomsorgen i Växjö kommun har en eller flera domar i belastningsregistret, enligt en granskning av Smålandsposten. Totalt handlar det om 164 domar. Bland brotten finns sexualbrott, däribland våldtäkt mot barn. En av de anställda är alltså dömd för våldtäkt mot barn och arbetar samtidigt inom äldreomsorgen. Detta trots att Växjö kommun uppger att registerutdrag ska begäras vid nyanställningar inom omsorgsförvaltningen. Sedan den 1 mars 2026 har kommuner dessutom rätt att begära utdrag ur både belastningsregistret och misstankeregistret vid anställningar inom äldreomsorg och hemtjänst. Frågan är hur personer med tidigare domar har kunnat hamna i verksamheten och vilka kontroller som faktiskt har genomförts. Källa: Smålandsposten #äldreomsorg #Växjö #brottslingar

Jag har gått igenom dom närmare 1000 vittnesmålen som inkommit efter valet till ettfolk. En del saknade substans och har gallrats bort. Kvar finns uppgifter med tid, plats och vad personen själv såg, från 191 av 290 kommuner. De allvarligaste fallen har fått mejl, så att den som var där själv kan polisanmäla och överklaga. I dag skickas sammanställningen till Valmyndigheten och polisen. I morgon går överklagandet till Valprövningsnämnden. Överklagandetiden går ut 29 september. Det här är inte ett bevis för omval. Det är underlag som bör prövas. #val #vittnesmål #polis
