The politician requested mileage compensation – for flights

today at 01.20 Alexander Bönke

A moderate politician requested more than SEK 10,000 in mileage compensation for a trip from his house in the south of France to Piteå, the Piteå-Tidningen writes.

But instead of driving, he flew.

– It’s nothing to brag about, flying isn’t free after all. I had to go home because we had KS and KF, or had to and had to, anyway I did. We drove there and then I flew home, he says.

According to the policy, it is not possible to distinguish between air and car in the municipality’s reporting system and that he submitted the travel bill to test gaps in the system.

– Surely everyone must understand that it is completely unreasonable that I had intended to get money to go from France. It’s completely insane, maybe people think I’m stupid, but not stupid at all, he says to Piteå-Tidningen.

    During Friday, the skull of a Tyrannosaurus Rex was auctioned at the auction company Sotheby’s in New York.

    But instead of the expected price of between 15 and 20 million dollars, the price stayed at 6.1 million, writes New York Times.

    The sale came a month after another auction of a Tyrannosaurus skeleton had to be canceled due to questions over how much of the skeleton was genuine.

    It may have affected confidence in the industry and reduced demand for dinosaur skeletons. A market that has been hot in recent years.

    – Everything is based on trust and right now it is very low, says art advisor Todd Levin to the New York Times.

    – There are two visible perpetrators who threaten with weapon-like objects and force themselves into the woman’s vehicle and one or more mobile phones. Then you drive away from the scene in both the vehicle that blocked the road with and the seized car, says Rickard Lundqvist, press spokesperson for the police in the South region.

    The woman and the boy were not physically injured.

    The police are now hunting the perpetrators, but no one has yet been arrested.

  • Dutch plans for nuclear power plants

    Two new nuclear power plants to be ready in 2035 and able to produce 13 percent of all electricity consumed in the Netherlands. The plans were presented by Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Friday, writes TT.

    – By adding nuclear power to our total energy mix, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions and make ourselves less dependent on other countries, where these fossil fuels come from, says Rutte.

  • Electricity consumption plummeted in October

    21.5 percent.

    This is how much less electricity the electricity grid company Ellevio’s private customers used in October compared to the average for the same month in the last three years, TT reports.

    “Remarkable” says Jesper Liveröd, press manager at Ellevio.

    – The fact that people have reduced their electricity use in such a short time is likely a consequence of the summer’s black headlines about skyrocketing electricity prices. They have clearly contributed to a strong concern, he says.

    Intelligence chief Linda Staaf hits back in an interview with Today’s news.

    – Many men cannot handle a woman gaining power and influence in a male-dominated industry, says Linda Staaf to DN.

    In recent days, Staaf’s merits have also come under scrutiny there The Express wrote that she got the job as head of intelligence without any police experience.

    – It’s a smear campaign against me as a woman and a manager in the police. Facts are withheld and distorted, she tells DN.

    She says that former Noa boss Mats Löfving exposed her to “disrespectful behaviour”.

    – I have not been exposed to anything criminal, on the other hand, there has been disrespectful behavior that I was worried about and that I finally chose to talk to the head of security about, says Linda Staaf.

  • Police arrested man who “walked in a certain way”

    The police in Örebro have been reported to the Judicial Ombudsman (JO) after an arrest.

    The man was stopped with the justification that he was “walking in a certain way”, it appears in the report that has been received by the JO, reports News Agency Siren.

    “Everything felt so unreal and strange. Is this really happening?”, the man writes in his report.

    In it, the man writes that he was on his way to the nearby church where he is engaged.

    Instead, he had to defend himself against drug suspicions in an interrogation. He has previously spoken to a local newspaper about the incident.

    The police in Örebro have previously commented in the newspaper Nerikes Allehanda where they call it “unfortunate for the victim” and that the police sometimes take the wrong person.

    – But here, of course, the police have seen something that has made them suspicious: It could be a strange time, that someone is talking strangely or whatever, Mats Öhman, press spokesperson for the police in the Bergslagen region, previously told NA.

    – Regarding information from German authorities, it is not something we have the opportunity to comment on, so the only thing I can say is that we are aware of the information that has circulated in the media, but otherwise we have nothing to say, says Säpo’s spokesperson Adam Samara to Ekot .

    You cannot include everything in your text. In the documentary, it appears to be carbonated water in the glass. It could also be Sprite. But now I fall into speculation.
