Mr. Husis wrote that Jimmie Åkesson had recently said in a debate article that the Sweden Democrats should become more like the party had been in the past. He recommended that the party leadership study Björn Söder's actions from 2013 as an example of how political statements that denied the existence of Swedes could be responded to. According to Mr. Husis, that stance was what gave the party a justification for existence, rather than becoming a pale copy of the Moderates. #politik #Sverige #SD (translated)

After trying several different solutions, we have landed on this solution – We went to the election with another council with the Moderates and the Liberals as the core together with us. But different political deadlocks and red lines on the right and left have made that coalition impossible. After trying several different solutions, we have landed on this solution, says Carl-Johan Schiller (KD), opposition regional councilor. #RegionStockholm #Mittenstyre #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)

Klaus Riskær Pedersen criticized the former and current government for the handling of the CPR register. He wrote that systematic data collection could have taken place without being stopped by the security systems and called it a political scandal that required immediate accountability. Pedersen claimed that the problems were due to Minister of Interior and Housing Christian Rabjerg Madsen awarding the operation of the CPR system to the American company DXC Technology in 2022. He also criticized former Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, stating that the tender in 2021 was carried out under the GPA agreement, which allowed American companies to bid. According to Pedersen, the agreement allowed for the exclusion of foreign bidders on grounds of security and vital national interests, and he believed that the CPR register, which he described as critical infrastructure, should not have been entrusted to a foreign company. He placed the responsibility for the lack of control systems on the Agency for Digitization and believed that the government's leadership bore political accountability for the appointments. He wrote that Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen had not made the decision herself but had appointed a political leadership that he considered lacking in professionalism and experience. He also claimed that the government had been so preoccupied with the war in Europe by the end of 2022 that it had not concerned itself with the CPR system. Furthermore, Pedersen criticized that the Parliament, in his opinion, would choose Henrik Frandsen from the Moderates as chairman, even though Frandsen had only served in Parliament for four years. He described Frandsen as unworthy of the position and accused him of serious moral shortcomings. Pedersen wrote that all Danish citizens must remain vigilant until those responsible figured out whether new CPR numbers were necessary, suggesting that Russia would be to blame. He alleged that businesses' access to the register had been shut down, causing chaos, and that the lack of identity verification could make it difficult for public institutions to hire educators. He compared the situation to previous problems in the police's data systems. #Inkompetence #Politik #Danmark (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had destroyed the immigration policy. He claimed that the government had decided to grant citizenship to 2,055 individuals without screening, and that a significant proportion came from the Middle East and Africa. According to Messerschmidt, the Social Democrats had lost the internal power struggle over immigration policy, so the Radical Left, the Socialist People’s Party, and the Moderates now determined the policy in the area of citizenship. He believed that one could not conduct a strict immigration policy while simultaneously accepting a practice that, in his view, could grant citizenship to Islamists without screening. Messerschmidt wrote that the Social Democrats had lost control over immigration policy and that the Danish People's Party and he himself were ready to take over if Mette Frederiksen no longer wanted or could pursue the policy she had promised. He said he would make Denmark the safest country in the world. #udlændingepolitik #Danmark #socialdemokratiet (translated)

Christian Marcussen wrote that he had participated in the program Akkurat hos Clement, where the panel had discussed Danish politics as well as the election in Sweden, the unrest in France, and the USA under Donald Trump. He described the government as an artificially composed "Frankenstein government" and pointed to immigration policy as a conflict point. According to him, there would be repeated stories of internal disagreement until the government fell. Marcussen called the issue of citizenship the biggest point of contention and wrote that the three smaller government parties wanted relaxations. He referred to a news report stating that the Moderates, Radikale Venstre, and SF wanted to grant citizenship to 2,055 people who, according to him, were waiting for a model to be developed to filter out anti-democrats. He assessed that the Social Democrats would bend in the matter but wrote that he would like to be wrong. #danskpolitik #valget2023 #statsborgerskab (translated)

"I want to be calmer, smile more, appear more composed and moderate. But here - here flows Bolsonaro blood."

Jan Ericson called the image presented by Motargument extremely false. He wrote that in his nearly 30 years as a Moderate politician, he had never heard or seen a Moderate politician or voter express hatred towards Jews. However, he claimed that hatred frequently recurred among V-politicians and voters. #politik #hat #moderater (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh criticized the Moderates and the Radicals for what he perceived as a contrast between their election promises regarding electric cars and electricity taxes and the government's plans. He wrote that the Moderates had offered free charging for an hour and a half at selected charging stations during the election campaign, and that at an event in Køge, there had been more press and party staff than interested motorists. According to Vanopslagh, the Radicals had promised to abolish the registration tax so that electric cars would not become more expensive from 2027. He also wrote that both parties had supported making the low electricity tax permanent, and that a spokesman for the Moderates had called it an optimal tool for the green transition. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would raise the tax on electric cars starting from New Year's. According to him, a VW ID.4 Style would incur about 10,300 kroner more in registration tax. He furthermore claimed that the government would raise the electricity tax again in 2028, even though it had contributed to Danish households having some of the highest electricity prices in the EU. He wrote that the Liberal Alliance had advocated for a permanent reduction of the electricity tax and a significant reduction of the registration tax before and after the election. #elpolitikk #valgt2023 #grønneomstilling (translated)

InteSosse wrote that Aida Hadzialic (S) and the Social Democrats would not be hunted down as much in the vicinity as Svenonius and the Moderates had done around Nya Karolinska. The writer claimed that the hunt for the Social Democrats was against the first rule of the journalism code of ethics. https://t.co/xfT5Fgz08S #politik #journalistik #Sverige (translated)

More people want to vote for the Moderates!💙 One should always take individual measurements with a grain of salt – but it is encouraging to see strong support for the Moderates and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Who would you vote for if there were an election today? https://t.co/nXZSyIWSUl #Moderaterna #politik #val (translated)

The only real progress that has been made is that Magdalena Andersson is no longer on TV accusing the Left Party of wanting to form a government with the Moderates. But it's good for diversity that someone chooses joy. https://t.co/BDRFJOb4OC https://t.co/ss0VIYdCNb #Sverige #politik #mångfald (translated)

Sweden must be the strangest democracy in the Western world. Sweden holds general elections. And none of the eight parties in the parliament want to form a government. What then do we need general elections for @moderaterna @kdriks @liberalerna @sdriks @Centerpartiet @S_presstjnst @socialdemokrat @miljopartiet @vansterpartiet? Asks "Curious" #demokrati #Sverige #politik (translated)

Depends on the Speaker's canceled press conference on Magdalena Andersson sulking and refusing to follow the Speaker's decision. She does not accept a Speaker from the Moderates. She decided that the Speaker should come from the Social Democrats. Oh God, help us from Magdalena Andersson. #politik #Sverige #MagdalenaAndersson (translated)

We moderates warned. But the media did not care to examine the opposition's government capability before the election. They helped the opposition to deceive voters into thinking there was some sort of red-green government alternative. No uncomfortable questions that disturbed the opposition's election campaign. A great shame. #svpol #opinion #val2022 #SE (translated)
