Last year, a new law was introduced that allows the Crown Enforcement Officer to carry out foreclosures remotely.

Strandhäll: Facing an age limit on online porn

France to introduce digital age verification for online porn. Now Annika Strandhäll, chairman of S-women, wants to see similar legislation in Sweden.
– We see a problem today which means that children have access to gross violent porn online without regulation. And it creeps down in the ages. Studies show that the average age of debut on these rather rough porn sites is 12 years in Sweden today, she says to TV4 Nyheterna.
Strandhäll believes that children risk getting their image of sex from rough porn – before they themselves have made their sexual debut.
She compares it to other regulations that we already have, such as online gambling and the purchase of alcohol, and believes that today there is technology that can prevent children from entering the sites.
– It is a signal from society that we do not want to expose our children to access to this type of gross violence, she says.

Former top diplomat: Great risk of the war reaching nuclear weapons level

The anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is approaching. The former top diplomat Jan Eliasson fears that the war will get worse.
– Now we have reached a weapon type that is more offensive, the tanks. The next request from Zelenskyi is fighter jets that will also be able to operate across borders and then it will be a question of Russia’s reaction to that and the risk that there will then be a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia, says former foreign minister and diplomat Jan Eliasson to TV4.
At the moment, a diplomatic solution is far away, but Jan Eliasson believes that the outside world can put pressure to bring about one.
– The pressure from the international community will be significant because I think the world is starting to feel that the war has gone on for too long and that Putin has stolen the agenda from all of us and there are great risks that it will lead all the way to the nuclear weapons level, says Jan Eliason .

Why doesn’t Sweden withdraw all aid to Turkey if the Turkish regime is going to mess with Sweden’s application. Feels like they want us to beg and beg to be let in by Turkey.
Frederick
Hello Fredrik! Wolfgang Hansson wrote quite well about Turkey’s block of the Swedish NATO application here.
Agree Boss, come with the facts when it’s ready. Getting a little childish. NATO here and NATO there, there are more important things in poor Sweden.
Sigvard Holmberg
Hello Sigvard! I think it is good to report continuously on the NATO process before it is finished. The fact that there are slightly different messages testifies to some kind of balancing act or that there may be different opinions on the matter. And so much time we don’t spend on these different statements that we can’t tell about other things. Last week, for example, we told about people who were affected by the increased electricity prices.
What you are arguing about Finland and Sweden entering NATO together one day, the next day Finland will enter alone ? it will be when it is.
Boss
Hey Boss! It is as true as they say, it will be when it will be. And agree that there are slightly different messages from day to day. But it is of course interesting to follow the issue because it has always been said that the countries should and should enter the alliance together.
How many have been displaced by the tragic earthquake in Turkey/Syria?
Mikael Adolfsson
Hello! The death toll in the disaster has passed 45,000, reported Reuters previously today.
Did Otto pass by completely unnoticed? Because everything about the storm seems removed
Nod
Hello! Yes, it probably wasn’t as bad as feared, but some are without power and the train service has not started for a while. What the storm has done will probably show more when people start to wake up. We have a new article in the works, so far the night is summed up in this one.
