Do not understand why such an important thing as information about the war in Ukraine should be a “plus” and I should pay extra to find out, and this from a newspaper that should give us news.
Please explain how you think here!
But the easiest thing is to just delete the post, if you don’t have an answer.

Hi Axel! I’m not the one to decide things like this, so take my words with a grain of salt. But our starting point is that pure news, whether about the war, covid-19, politics or crime, can be read openly, while in-depth information requires a plus login.
Personally, I don’t think it’s that strange, we’re a private company and not a public service that gets all the funding on the tax bill. And if you compare to the old days – I hardly think that the newspaper was free in the newsstands just because there was a second world war or the cold war…
At least that’s what I think, but everyone can think differently!

Nora, it is worth pointing out that the Nordic countries have like all other countries behind them on the corruption list, so that Sweden would be second worst in terms of corruption in the Nordics is actually not particularly bad at all! You can turn it around, like the fourth country with the least corruption in the whole world. It’s not that bad, is it?
Anna
Well of course, compared to like every other country in the world it’s great!
What was a little interesting, however, was that Sweden lost and got its worst ranking in 11 years. Although it is of course a very good position internationally.
Strange that AB didn’t write a line about Botkyrka’s Social Democrats being taken over by gang criminals…
