It should be clear after the new security adviser’s assortment. It is the government itself that is a security risk for Sweden!
Börje Ståhl, Stockholm
Do not praise day until sun has gone down. In the morning of May 8 explains The head of the Government Offices, Ulf Kristersson, that « Tobias Thyberg has unique knowledge and qualifications to… assist me as prime minister on security policy issues and represent Sweden in the international network of security advisers ». Thyberg would thus succeed Kristersson’s friend, the forgetful Henrik Landerholm. Before the sun has settled, however, Kristersson’s State Secretary Johan Stuart, who succeeded PM Nilsson after the latter, was explained by having a thief fishing eel and on two occasions lied to the police, that the police, that « Thyberg failed to provide information he should have provided ». Or rather, the government office forgot to ask about the controversial image that it took DN less than three quarters to pick up on social media. Within a day, the new security adviser had resigned. We have a pie -like government office whose chief manager, the country’s prime minister, makes our country a matter of the whole world. If there is someone who is not trousing for their office then it is Ulf Kristersson.

I remember how the press was horrified at Kindberg Batra’s recruitment to work in her ministry. Scandal! Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson makes her resemble totally innocent. What is wrong with his acquaintances? Does he become now without Security advisor? A service he, the prime minister, thought was important to have. Finding a person without a skeleton in the wardrobe seems difficult. Maybe it’s time to look outside the acquaintance circle? Recruit someone who is without flaws seems difficult. Maybe it’s just as good to put the plans on ice for a while? The government has not had the service before and did well without!

Who writes the script for the sad ensemble that, according to a rushing poster, goes by the name of the timer? It must be Henrik Dorsin, because now it is fun for real. A prime minister who does not know if he knew, a national security adviser who forgets everything where he goes and stands. That he still has « Einen Koffer in Berlin » had for some strange reason still got stuck in the memory. And so now, an intended replacement with a selective memory that makes the representative appear as a memorial master in Ejnar Haglund class. The Number Revyn also includes minister in the safety vest on an excursion to the resort. And in order to really tickle the new moralists, the performance also contains a new interpretation of Josephine Baker’s mythical revue number at Folie’s Bergère in Paris in the 1920s. This time, however, the bananas are replaced by fallow sausages. Ebba Busch dances and smiles. The final will be something extra special. Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson enter the scene wearing scarlet -red bishoprics. And like John Cleese in Monty Python’s Flying Circus, they proclaim with Tordönstämst: « We are the Spanish Inquisition! » The audience is roaring. Curtain!

It stands and weighs in Europe. The extreme right presses from all directions with AI-generated, mass-manufactured raw. Nevertheless, it can take a big place in the TV debates, encounters broad acceptance for its eerie « ideas » and even has government influence, shame to say in our own country. On questions about this may be conceivable to contribute to (Ekot 7/5) Anna-Karin Hat, a newly elected center leader replies: « We must return to that. » But now it is soon too late to make a statement! I count as a hat. Hat scares me.

Newly elected American Pope – The United States now holds both material as well as the spiritual power in large parts of the world. It sounds ominous, but we may well pray higher power, if there is someone, because the spiritual leader is not of the same scrap and barley as his material equivalent.

A New Pope is now selected. The new manager Bob/Leo seems to have protected a former colleague in Chicago, as accused of sexual abuse. The criminal activity of the Catholic Church apparently continues as usual.

What US President Donald Trump wants to achieve with the excitement of values should logically be: exclusion, inequality/injustice – and simplicity. Is that what the American voters voted for?

The environmental party wants to raise the price of gasoline and diesel and its leadership is convinced that they have the rest of the opposition with them. That’s what the language tube Amanda Lind says in SVT’s « 30 minutes ». If the red-green wins the election next year, the fuel price will be pushed up by increased reduction obligation-initially with two to three kronor a liter, and then gradually more to meet the EU climate target by 2030, says Lind. In the inland, there are also plenty of pensioners without a bus connection that will not be able to afford to drive to the store or a doctor’s visit. They should apparently sit in their birdhouses and chirp when MP thinks it is better to Tornedalas will go over to Finland and tanks so that the state loses tax revenue. When we refuel, we pay three different taxes: carbon dioxide tax, energy tax and VAT, which ends up in Finland. Then you don’t have all the horses at home.

Although the company Think Pink for several years dumped environmentally hazardous waste in Swedish nature, SVT failed to ask the most basic and important questions in his reporting. The company buried construction and demolition waste in over 20 locations in central Sweden, often near residential areas. Residents alerted about the dumps, but it was a long time before the authorities acted. SVT’s review highlighted the serious environmental consequences and the legal process, but the issues that should have been at the center of the review failed. Why did the dumps last for so long? Why didn’t the authorities take action before? And why did not question the media like SVT why nothing was done despite testimonies and notifications? When the media does not ask these uncomfortable questions, they risk merely reproducing superficial facts, without examining the underlying causes of social scandals. In the case of Think Pink, it would have been crucial to get to the bottom of why so many responsible people could be passive for several years. It is not only a matter of environmental crime, but also about the responsibility of journalism to review power in depth.

How stupid can it be in Timrå, when school students risk pooping on, just because they don’t want their toilet visits to be registered? In the name of justice, the method should also apply to the schools’ employees, the municipality’s employees, the municipal politicians, all the members of the Riksdag, the government’s office, the entire Armed Forces, and the royal house.

Opinions about DN
I almost agree with Alex Schulman in His chronicle About Finns’ alleged happiness. I myself come from Finland. The last hope of Finns’ happiness disappeared when the pension recently disappeared without explanation. Finns living in other EU countries no longer receive a national pension from their home country. Why should you have more money if you are so happy?
Ps. The brown lubrication mema I love.

Reply to Rolf Hermanson (Noted on May 8): I do not share your view that DN is a left organ. I think DN looks at the world and society with objective view. There is rice and rose both right and left, which feels credible. I have other experiences locally where the dominant morning newspaper which is liberal almost always has colored glasses, which is both tiring and distorted. I really appreciate DN’s broadness.
