Andersson’s demands on Kristersson: Teach Sjöstedt
The Sweden Democrats’ Oscar Sjöstedt does not want to see more expansion of wind power – and he would prefer that already built wind power would be removed.
– It sabotages animals and people. People get mental problems because their night’s sleep is ruined by the noise. It sabotages nature, he says in an interview with Swedish daily newspaper.
Now Magdalena Andersson (S) answers, also in Svenska dagbladet. She says that she assumes that Ulf Kristersson is correcting Sjöstedt – and demands that she distance herself from Sjöstedt’s statement – among other things, that he said that wind power is expensive.
– It’s wrong! It is serious when a representative of the second largest party in the Riksdag spreads misinformation and I assume that Ulf Kristersson corrects him so that he is reprimanded, she says.

That Coop now lowers the price of fruit & vegetables for members only is strange! Have had fun now and compared the reduced prices against the other store we have here, and Coop is still more expensive despite its so-called reduction. Such good people! – Compare and buy the goods where it is cheapest, the basket I put together, I earn SEK 289 and then on a weekly transaction.
Maya
Hey Maya! Yes, good advice for anyone who is close to several stores!
I think what is happening now in the economy is also good for teaching the common man that you have to live with margins and think ahead.
Peter
Hello Peter! It is of course good to think about in cases where people have an opportunity to influence their margins.
That the consumption of fruit decreases must be good for public health due to the high sugar content of about 10% and nutritional poverty per unit of weight.
LENNART FACIUS
Hi Lennart! Fruit has little other content than sugar, right? Then of course it depends on what you eat instead of fruit.
Aren’t you reporting live from the Tove case today?
???
Hello! Yes, we do! Here you will find our live report.
Of course, the Swedes’ health will deteriorate when we are in times of crisis! Haven’t bought either fruit or vegetables myself since September -22. Almost only eat pasta with ketchup and oatmeal every day of the week to try to stay fit. Never gym again, no dentist or doctor, but if it’s an emergency, I call an ambulance. Am enough people who live like me?
Susanna
Hi Susanna! How tough for you, sending my thoughts and hope you can get some help in the situation you are in.
