The negotiations on labor immigration have stalled, according to information to Dagens industri.
Sources to the newspaper state that the Liberals and the Sweden Democrats cannot meet on the question of whether certain professional groups should be exempted from the new and higher salary requirements.
The source also says that the Moderates and the Christian Democrats are “somewhere in between”.
“It is very problematic. The negotiations have resolved a number of issues, but there is no progress here,” says a source with insight into the negotiations to Dagens industri.

Tried to steal electric scooter – forgot bag with carbon dioxide gun
The police have been alerted that a man tried to steal an electric scooter in a shop at Norra Station in Stockholm.
The man, who was stopped by staff, was still in the store when the police arrived.
At first, the man was said to have been calm, but when the police checked the man, he ran away from the scene.
In connection with the commotion, the man forgot a bag with a carbon dioxide gun in it.
Several patrols were called to look for the man.
After a while of searching, the man was later found in a garage where he tried to hide.

The police have alerted a school in Karlskrona due to an assault.
Two unauthorized persons have entered a school in Karlskrona and assaulted a student, according to the alarm.

In debt, you were supposed to travel – were stopped at customs
A man in his 30s with debts to the Kronofogden has been stopped at customs at Arlanda.
The man was traveling to a country outside the EU and had a large amount of cash with him in his suitcase.
– I don’t have an exact amount, but it should be a “mass” of cash, says Daniel Wikdahl, press spokesperson for the Stockholm Police.
Because the debt had not yet been paid, while the man had money with him, the police were called.
A patrol is now on site to help the man settle his debt.
– He is probably happy now that he got help with it, says Daniel Wikdahl.
The Swedish Social Insurance Agency stops paying Humana
The Inspectorate for Care and Care, IVO, wants to stop the care company Humana from providing assistance.
They question the company’s suitability.
But now a court has decided to stop IVO’s ban pending a hearing. This means that Humana can continue to offer care as usual.
But now they no longer get paid by Försäkringskassan.
The authority announces on Tuesday that they will not stop making payments to the company. Instead, the assistance allowance will be given to those in need of care, writes Försäkringskassan.

Estonia on Swedish NATO entry
Estonia hopes that Sweden’s and Finland’s NATO process can be completed as soon as possible – and would prefer to see a joint entry, reports TT.

Pehrson on puppet protest: Sad for Sweden
The Nyans party plans to hang dolls representing both Labor Market and Integration Minister Johan Pehrson and Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Åkesson.
The action is expected to be held on February 12 outside the Riksdag as a protest against Sweden allowing Koran burnings.
– It is sad that we have such a social climate, where extremists in various directions act to create insecurity, Johan Pehrson tells TT.
He believes that Nyans selected him because he clearly protects Swedish freedom of expression.
– There are people who do not want to be part of Swedish society and who think that we should change our constitutions, for example so that you are not allowed to say what you want, he says.

Do you know what Annie Lööf will do now and will she receive any severance pay?
Monica
In an interview with DN in December, Annie Lööf said that she wants to continue working with social change, perhaps in equality, diversity or green transition. But first she will take it easy for a few weeks and be with her family.
Politicians do not receive severance pay. However, the Riksdag has a special income guarantee after a member resigns or is dismissed. It lasts up to 15 years.
