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)

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 author reported that a cargo ship sank in the Romanian economic zone on October 5, and two people died. He estimated that the likely cause of the sinking was Russian drones. According to him, the next night, two vessels were attacked in the Bulgarian economic zone: one sank, and its crew was missing. The author noted that attacks had occurred in the economic zones of NATO countries and ultimately began an unfinished statement that the same would be true in the Baltic Sea... #Itämeri #NATO #turvallisuus #RO #BG #RU (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she found it strange that people on the right seemed to oppose C's choice of side. According to her, no one benefited from the party remaining ambiguous, and after more than eight years, C should determine where it stood, regardless of whether it was right or left. She argued that having two clear blocks before the next election would make it easier for voters to take a stance, instead of parties referring to their own possible constellations. #politik #val2024 #partipolitik (translated)

DN's Emma Bouvin continues to write editorial texts disguised as news journalism – in the same spirit as her father Peter Löfgren, the SVT reporter whose many years of fixation on Israel left clear traces in public service Middle East coverage. Now she not only relativizes the Israeli passengers' intervention against a suspected terrorist act. She also perpetuates the conspiracy theory that Israelis would be “indoctrinated” with the idea that people in Gaza and the West Bank are trained to want to kill Jews. #Israel #Mellanöstern #journalistik (translated)

"After four years of fascism, dismantled democracy, and ruthless deportation policies – is it not strange that the defenders of democracy still do not have a common will to put an end to this, but still seem to want to let the forces of darkness begin the attempts at forming a government?" #demokrati #politik #fascism (translated)

I would like ETR to explain as if to a five-year-old what makes it so dangerous to collaborate with SD. The Liberals have managed it for four years and are ready to continue. Much thanks to a brave leader like Simona. So now explain your fine values and why you look down on others! #politik #SD #svenskpolitik (translated)

The Estonian government has banned the transit of grain from Russia and Belarus through Estonia with state sanctions to prevent supporting Russia's war and aggression against Ukraine, emphasizing that Estonia must not become a new transit route for Russian grain. #veneviljatransiit #sanktsioonid #Eesti (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)

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)

A majority in the parliament says they want Magdalena Andersson as prime minister. Then so be it. Present her as a candidate and vote her in. This undignified nonsense must come to an end. The red-green parties are spitting in the voters' faces. #politik #Sverige #riksdagen (translated)

This is high-level disability humor. The Great Angry Leader sends the party's arch-idiot to present her embarrassing nonsense, which is even questioned by the host... this is offensive to the Swedish people that S claims to want to unite and lead. 🤬😫 #politik #Sverige #komedi (translated)
