A year and a half ago, Malin Svensson bought her dream apartment in Malmö. When it would be time to move in, she no longer gets a loan from the bank after a fee increase of just over 35 percent.

Now the construction company Serneke demands that she herself sell the apartment she cannot afford.

A 13-year-old girl was injured with a sharp object after being robbed on board a city bus in Fosie in Malmö. The injuries are not life-threatening, the police say. Two perpetrators allegedly demanded mobile phones from three teenage girls.

More and more families with children are applying for grants from the non-profit organization Majblomman. Last year, SEK 460,000 was distributed in Malmö alone. Of the 300 applications that Majblomman received from Malmö families, half were about getting help with shoes and clothes. Now the number of applications is increasing.

At the same time, the organization finds it increasingly difficult to reach the children who sell the flowers. In Malmö, 90 percent of the schools say no to participating.
