Daniel Schatz stated that this year's Nobel Peace Prize, in his opinion, should have gone to someone who has done the most good for humanity through peace work. He described the laureate Navi Pillay as a leftist activist and a prominent representative of international activism focusing on Israel. Schatz accused the Norwegian Nobel Committee of rewarding political activism instead of peace efforts and claimed that the prize had long been detached from Nobel's will. In an article in Aftonbladet, he suggested that the prize should be moved to Sweden or abolished and wrote that the Norwegians were not up to the task. #Fredspris #Nobelpriset #Politik (translated)

Christer Sfeir wrote about his visit to Pézenas in southern France and described the Hôtel de Flottes de Sébasan, a stone house from the 16th century. According to local tradition, Anna of Austria, the queen of France and mother of Louis XIV, had stayed there during a visit, he wrote. Sfeir recounted that Anna was a Spanish princess who married Louis XIII in 1615 when she was 14 years old. After 23 years without children, she gave birth to her son Louis in 1638. When the king died five years later, the then four-year-old son became king and Anna regent. Sfeir wrote that the royal family was forced to flee Paris during the Fronde and that the rebellion later contributed to Louis XIV's decision to centralize power around himself. He also mentioned Molière's stay in Pézenas during the 1650s with his theater company, which received patronage from the Prince of Conti. Sfeir wrote that Molière encountered people and environments there that later became subjects of his satire. According to Sfeir, Louis XIV visited the city in 1660 and took over the reins of power the following year. He concluded by stating that the house still stood, despite the monarchy and its power struggles being part of history. #Pézenas #historia #Molière (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)

– It came unexpectedly when it comes to American policy toward Russia, as the USA is after all an ally of Ukraine. To suddenly break the economic isolation is surprising. It is hard to see how it wouldn't have to do with the midterm elections, says Dag Blanck, senior professor of North American studies at Uppsala University. #Dieselavtal #Trump #Putin (translated)
