The roughly 1,000 electric rental bicycles in the city of Stockholm are being removed with immediate effect.
This because the batteries can start to burn, reports SvD.
– It has been established that it is due to a technical fault linked to the cold. It is not possible to rule out the risk that it could affect more bicycles, therefore the system is stopped and the company collects the bicycles to try to remedy this, says traffic councilor Lars Strömgren (MP) to SvD.
– For us, it is completely unacceptable that there should be bicycles out on Stockholm’s streets that constitute a fire hazard, he continues.
He hopes that the error will be rectified by the new year.
SD’s demand: Stop the Nobel party from City Hall
The Nobel Foundation stopped Sweden Democrats party leader Jimmie Åkesson from the Nobel Festival.
Now the Sweden Democrats in Stockholm want to stop the Nobel Foundation from having the Nobel party in the City Hall unless Jimmie Åkesson is invited, reports Echo.
In a letter to the municipal board, the Sweden Democrats in Stockholm demand that the criteria be changed for those who want to rent the blue hall, where the Nobel party is arranged.
The Sweden Democrats want to investigate so-called deepened democracy criteria “in order to avoid unreasonable discrimination of parliamentary parties”.
– I think that for the Sweden Democrats in Stockholm, it is a matter of principle about how we view the use of the Blue Hall. Is it the case that the Nobel Foundation chooses to port the Sweden Democrats, yes, then maybe the Blue Hall and City Hall choose to port the Nobel Foundation, says Gabriel Kroon, the Sweden Democrats’ group leader in Stockholm to Sveriges Radio.

What happens in the Tove case?
Ewa Forstén
State a problem with Facebook as you wrote, haven’t they changed their name to Meta?
Iv’s sale
The company itself changed its name to Meta about a year ago.

What is happening in Näset, Lindingö? Lots of emergency vehicles… don’t even come close to the hill
Jens b
According to the police, it is a medical matter. They don’t want to say more than that.
You write that “At the Sunes Elefant restaurant in Visby, Nooshi Dadgostar eats steak and fries drenched in a brownish semi-transparent sauce”, but what did she drink with the food…? It does not appear.
Pelle brokers peace
Hey!
You cannot include everything in your text. In the documentary, it appears to be carbonated water in the glass. It could also be Sprite. But now I fall into speculation.
Pleasant evening!
What happened to Tove who was murdered? No newspaper writes more about the murder that I can find.
Pia
