Simone Svensson wrote that the University of Helsinki would develop a citizenship test in Finland and that the new regulations would formally take effect on January 1, 2027. She compared it to Sweden, where the test, according to her, would not be ready by the original target date of October 1, 2027, and where the parts for oral and written skills were expected to be ready at the earliest by 2030. Svensson asked why the work would take several years in Sweden when it could, in her opinion, be completed in a couple of months in Finland. https://t.co/TRrbmv3bl2 #Finland #Sverige #Medborgarskap (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that the left-wing should stop telling foreigners that they had the right to Danish citizenship. He also believed that state-funded media like DR should not involve foreigners in the debate about citizenship, which he described as a matter solely for the Danish people. https://t.co/Xrnyuuj6WI #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #Udlændinge (translated)

Lennart Wallger wrote that Magdalena Andersson should not be given more time. If she could not present a government basis on Tuesday, a prime minister vote should be held on Wednesday, he believed. He assessed it as highly likely that she would lose and argued that the Blue-Yellow bloc should then receive the exploratory mission. Wallger concluded by demanding order in the process. https://t.co/ijy7ZAzMMZ #politik #Sverige #regering (translated)

Tomasz wrote that the support for KO in Krakow dropped from 51 to 39 percent over the course of two years. He called for mocking those who predict 35 percent support for the party nationwide and assessed that it is more likely heading for 20 percent. #Kraków #Polska #wybory (translated)

Chris wrote that even though the image quality was poor, he believed it was clear that a Midtjylland player was lying horizontally in the air and holding onto Cornelius. He questioned whether the enforcement of holding offenses in the box applied to part-time referees and called for more consistency in the referees' decisions. #Superliga #Fodbold #DommerTal (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Peter Hultqvist's interview was an attempt to limit the damage and give the Social Democrats a more "hawkish" profile. The writer thought that several proposals in the interview were good: a permanent amphibious battalion in Gotland, re-establishing I 22 in Kiruna, and above all, building a third submarine of the A26 class. The writer claimed that larger combat vessels needed to be built in series of at least three to ensure redundancy, with two operational and one for training or maintenance. As support, the writer referred to his own experience of two years of service as ELF and LFO at PTK Gbg, the test command for Göteborg-class corvettes. Ledarsidorna.se expressed uncertainty about Magdalena Andersson's foreign and security policy stance and wrote that neighboring countries were not impressed by her latest statement, which the writer believed opened the door for reduced engagement on NATO's northern flank. The writer also believed that Pål Jonson should remain as defense minister and called him the best in the position in modern times. Compared to Hultqvist, the writer thought that Jonson had better knowledge of weapons and weapon systems. #svpol https://t.co/ihG7cqkWH5 #säkerhetspolitik #försvar #svenskpolitk (translated)

The last scout™ reported that Jan Skalický, after the defeat in the senate elections in Děčín, disappointingly said that people do not want personalities, or are lazy to look for them. He urged the residents of the region to reflect on themselves and ironically asked whether it was not enough for them that Miloš Zeman and Felix Slováček came to personally support Skalický. https://t.co/OFni2m2QAp #volby #Děčín #politika (translated)

Eva Selsing wrote that her criticism of modern art in B.T. could also be directed at Jens Galschiøt's Trump sculpture, which she described as vulgar kitsch. She believed that much modern art was poorly conceived and executed political contributions that conveyed propaganda for an oikophobic establishment rather than uplift or give spirit to the human condition. Selsing stated that she was not surprised that the Danish Arts Foundation supported that type of projects. She pointed out that artists, works, funds, and museums, in her view, were influenced by left-leaning individuals, and that the result was often works characterized by ugliness, death, something unpleasant, and meaninglessness. She emphasized that her criticism was not about art being provocative, but that provocation had been highlighted for decades as the only or most important task of art. She asked why art should not also show beauty, and called provocation that followed the demands of the time ideological commission work. Selsing rejected that she had the sole right to define art but believed that works that could be reduced to poorly conceived political contributions were not good art—if they were even art at all. She referred to most modern art as societal-degrading kitsch. #ModerneKunst #Kitsch #KunstDebat (translated)

Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that the Citizens' Party had proposed to revoke the citizenship of a person of African descent, whom he described as a serial criminal. He believed the proposal was relevant because Mette Frederiksen was soon to speak with the person's father. Mathiesen asked whether the media had covered the proposal or asked the other parties whether they would support it, and what the Prime Minister thought. He also wrote that a proposal from another party, in his estimation, would have received more media coverage, and questioned whether the media were neutral. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #dækning #statsborgerskab (translated)

The commentator wrote that Wojciech Machulski sharply criticized Donald Tusk, accusing him of using a person's death for political purposes this time, rather than a financial scandal. The commentator assessed that political cynicism has exceeded all limits. https://t.co/1p6ilIl1Px #Polityka #Cynizm #DonaldTusk (translated)

"We are not dealing with any large-scale organized group of people (...), who have a plan to create a sense of threat – These are very often spontaneous behaviors, stemming mainly from activity on the internet," Tusk explained. #AtakiwSzkołach #DonaldTusk #BezpieczeństwoSzkoły (translated)

In recent years, months, there has been an increase in fascination with violence — We are not dealing with any large-scale organized group of people who have a plan to create a threat. These are spontaneous behaviors — assured Donald Tusk, adding that "in recent years, months, there has been an increase in fascination with violence." #przemocwszkołach #bezpieczeństwo #dezinformacja (translated)

The author wrote that according to UNCTAD, Chinese shipyards accounted for 54.57% of the world's commercial ship production by gross tonnage in 2024. He stated that South Korea's share was 28.02% and Japan's 12.56%. He also pointed out that an extensive supplier network, large production scale, and state support strengthened this position. #Chiny #Produkcja #Statki #CN #KR #JP (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)

The Baron of Øresund questioned whether there had been Russian drones over Denmark or if the country had been attacked by a "capable actor," as the government had claimed according to him. He also wrote that politicians and the media had suggested or speculated that Russia was behind the explosion of Nord Stream. He further wrote that there had not been a provocation or a test of NATO when Russia fired a flare at a Danish helicopter, which according to him was flying too close to a Russian warship. He asked when what he described as lies, deception, and misinformation would be regarded as war propaganda. #Misinformation #Krigspropaganda #Rusland (translated)
