The government today gave the green light for the construction of two new offshore wind farms.
The announcement sparked anger among the Sweden Democrats, who are critical of the expansion of wind power. According to SD’s economic policy spokesperson Tobias Andersson, SD had also not been invited to participate in meetings about wind power.
Now Energy and Food Minister Ebba Busch (KD) is striking back against the move.
– KD, SD, M and L, we are all for wind power – all cooperation parties stand behind the analysis that more electricity will be needed, and that all fossil-free power types will be needed, she tells TT and refers to the Tidö Agreement.
– Here you are otherwise obliged to answer why you want to say no to conditions for lower electricity prices for households, no to new green jobs, Swedish job opportunities for Swedish mothers and fathers, and why you want to say no to being able to meet both a strong welfare and the climate goals , she continues.

The strike comes into effect on May 25 and work will be stopped at six workplaces.
– The painters’ fight is ours. During the negotiations for a new collective agreement for Sweden’s painters, the Painters’ Union has encountered threats to their profession in a similar way as the Electricians did. This makes it even more urgent for us to assist the Painters’ strike for a new collective agreement, says Elektrikerna’s head of negotiations Mikael Pettersson in a press release.
The president of the Supreme Court of Ukraine has been arrested, the country’s anti-corruption agency announces.
Already on Monday, Ukrainian media reported, based on unconfirmed information, that 43-year-old Vsevolod Knyaziyev had been caught red-handed while accepting a bribe.
Knyazijev has been active in the Supreme Court for several years and was elected its president at the end of 2021.

Stockholm’s traffic regional councilor Anton Fendert (MP) has had fun at the expense of the anxious commuter staff on board a party boat, reports Today’s ETC.
On social media, a video clip where Fender toasts in bubbles is spreading a few weeks after Stockholm’s train drivers went on wild strike to keep the train attendants on the commuter trains.
Dagens ETC writes that MP leader Martin Solberg is celebrating his 30th birthday together with his party colleagues.
Anton Fendert makes a speech.
– The reason we are a little late is that I had to check that there was a train attendant on this departure. There was, but we had to double-check it, he says jokingly into the microphone.
Rainer Andersson, vice chairman of Seko’s train host club, tells Aftonbladet that it is a mockery of the colleagues who fight for safety on board the commuter trains.
– Damn snotty kid, that’s really low. There he stands flailing while my colleagues are being fought. It arouses bad blood, says Rainer Andersson.
Fendert tells Dagens ETC that he distances himself from the joke.
“I tried to drive myself to a private birthday celebration,” he writes.

The government’s decision to give the green light for two new wind farms on the West Coast has drawn criticism from SD.
The party’s economic policy spokesperson Tobias Andersson believes that they have been excluded from the talks about wind.
Now Romina Pourmokhtari, Minister of the Environment and Climate, responds to the criticism.
“The entire government follows the Tidö agreement, it clearly states that there is no cooperation in terms of permit processes,” she writes in a text message to Aftonbladet.

How do I find the interview with Darin?
Marjut Lundin
Why do you only write about Lukashenko’s bandaged hands?
Are there more interesting things to write about him? Everyone can get sick in different ways, right?
Kerstin
Hi Kerstin! Here you will find more articles about Lukashenko and his deeds and songs.
All respect to Jonathan Jeppsson, but does he only write about climate issues…? There is a lot of other things going on in this world as well.
Norrbottning
Hehe lucky that we have more reporters with different expertise and interests 😉
However, Jeppsson can write about other things than climate. Here you can read his latest works.
I have a very hard time understanding the purpose of these Hövding “helmets”. Maybe someone can help me?
They are expensive, have to be charged all the time, seem as unwieldy as a regular helmet.
Are they safer? Or is it only because of not wanting to wear a helmet?
apple
According to many tests, they should protect better than a normal bicycle helmet during normal cycling (ie not extreme sports). This is also how they have been launched.
But other tests have shown the opposite.
Presumably the most common reason is that you don’t have to wear anything on your head?
I think there was bad information and reports about the Thai election this weekend!
