SD criticizes the government’s decision on waiting period
Yesterday, the government decided to shut down the so-called suspension investigation, which was to investigate a canceled suspension deduction.
Now the Sweden Democrats are criticizing the decision and summoning Minister for the Elderly and Social Insurance Anna Tenje (M) to the “affected committee”.
– The government’s decision to shut down the investigation that was supposed to review the retirement allowance was unknown to us and is not something we have been involved in.
This is what Linda Lindberg, social policy spokesperson for SD, says in a press release and continues:
– Karen’s day is a big burden for many particularly vulnerable professional groups in, among other things, healthcare, not least in these times when many Swedes experience great economic uncertainty. We are very critical of the government choosing to make this decision.

Hi, I wonder if it is still possible to see the green comet from Gothenburg
K å Johansson
Hey! The best chance to see the green comet seems to have been on January 21 and 22. But even now, during the last week of January, it seems you can catch a glimpse of it, if the sky is cloudless and you have good binoculars!
Why is it not a crime to buy drugs in Sweden, only to sell them?

Hey! It is a crime to buy, use and sell narcotics in Sweden.
The Kristersson government must be the most pathetic and pitiful ever! Why don’t they dare to face the consequences of their policies? They keep secret who gets electricity subsidies and how much, for 20 years!!! Why!?
Lars
Hey! The government states that it is about wanting to protect “individuals’ personal circumstances”. They have also referred to the security policy situation.
Freedom of speech, ok, but when does it cross the line. Hang a lifelike doll, burn book revered by millions.
Is there no legal scope to prosecute them for blasphemy, personal persecution, etc.?
gunner current sheet
The blasphemy law was abolished in 1949.
The Freedom of Religion Act was abolished in 1970 because freedom of expression weighs more heavily.
Unlawful persecution means committing several criminal violations against one and the same person.
The burning of the Koran has been investigated for incitement against a ethnic group, but in Sweden you can express strong disrespect for a religion. It is not the same as expressing it to the believers.
