The Green Party wants more forest owners to choose to move away from felling the forest through clear-cutting.
The party therefore proposes that the state should give favorable loans to owners who want to change the way they use the forest, that the state should provide more advice on forestry and that new business models for forestry be investigated.
– More forest must be protected, yes, but the big question is not whether the forest should be farmed, but how the forest is farmed, says spokesperson Daniel Helldén at a press conference in Almedalen.
– We are increasing the freedom of choice for Sweden’s forest owners, he asserts.
According to MP, the proposal will cost the state SEK 10 million a year in interest costs.
– Today’s forestry has few winners and many losers, says spokesperson Amanda Lind.
– The winners are the big forest companies. The losers include the rural residents who do not own forests but have their home forest felled next to the knot.

Israel does not want war in Lebanon – but has the ability to send the neighboring country “back to the stone age” if diplomacy fails, claims Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
– Hezbollah understands very well that we can cause massive damage in Lebanon if a war starts, says Gallant.
The statement came during Gallant’s last day in Washington, where he met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, among others.
Fears of a full-scale war in Lebanon have risen in recent weeks, as shelling between Israel and the Iran-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon intensified. During the visit to Washington, Gallant has stated that Israel has killed over 400 “Hezbollah terrorists” in recent months.
On Wednesday, the UN’s head of humanitarian affairs warned that a war between Israel and Hezbollah could have “apocalyptic” consequences. If Lebanon is drawn into the war, Syria and other countries will also be drawn into it, Martin Griffiths believes.
– The war in Gaza has shown us a new level of cruelty. But we are all worried that this is just the beginning, he said.
The police were called during the night to an address in Uppsala after a fight between a man and a woman.
At the scene, the man, who is aged 25, was arrested on suspicion of rape or attempted rape.

I would very much like to know why you don’t do your own journalism anymore. In every other article you can read references to other media, both Swedish and foreign. You have become a “copy-paste” magazine. Sad but true…
Nicklas
Was it real or a joke that you weren’t allowed to have a purse at Allsång På Skansen
What is the reason then?
Anna
That’s right Anna! And that’s because of the bag ban that was introduced in November due to the heightened terror threat level. However, you may bring your bag into Skansen, it is precisely the concert area that is covered by the ban.
The latest post here is from June 22. Have you gone on summer vacation? 🙂

You could probably believe that! Unfortunately, only other things have come in between. We do our best to catch up with everything!
Is it interesting that we readers get to know the price per person for a midsummer party just because it applies to an influencer?
Reading value?

Hi Bernt! We have a lot of readers with very different interests – and that’s lucky! Judging by our statistics, many people wanted to read it yesterday. 😄
Do you have any statistics on shootings, explosions etc. this year? I feel like I’ve been reading new ones every morning 🙁
Have a great day everyone.
Staffan V.
Hello! The police for statistics on that, which you will find here! Then from time to time we also make summaries of e.g. shooting deaths. So far this year, 18 people have been shot dead, so the number is down from last year. But compared to our neighboring countries, it is still at a high level.
