Monica
Hi Monica!
No, there is no information about it at the moment.

Don’t see anything about the explosion in Borlänge that took place at 04:00 this morning!
Lisa
Hi Lisa! Of course, we have national coverage, but this particular incident happened at the same time as the very dramatic fire in Greece and at a time when we have night staffing. But now it exists!
Hello, how did the search for the scooter driver in Luleå go?
Emma
He was found at 4 p.m. Then it also turned out that the scooter he was stuck with was stolen.
You write that 13.6 million has been paid out to 3.3 million people in Elstöd.. Sounds unreasonably little.
Should it be billions?
Freddy
Hey Freddy! You are absolutely right about that. Sorry for the confusion!
Why raise the proposal for a possible driver’s license for an A-tractor? If it is decided, it will take several years before it comes into effect. Talk about it in like 5 years, nothing will happen in the next few years, it will be dealt with in the EU countries.
Kerstin Franzén
Hi Kerstin! Although it may be some time before the proposal becomes a reality, it is reasonable to report that it is on the table. The question of A-tractors engages many people, so suggestions in the area we consider to be of interest to our readers.
