Large police presence at Ikea
There is a large police operation underway at Ikea in Boländerna in Uppsala. The police are keeping quiet about the incident.

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.

Is it illegal to burn the Koran in Finland, because Erdogan now demands that it be so and because in the same breath he says he is positive to Finland’s application?
Johnny Lesser
Hey Johnny!
Freedom of expression and freedom of demonstration are constitutional rights in Finland as well. But the Finnish National Police Board tells the news agency STT that similar protests cannot be approved in Finland.
It would be considered a crime against the peace of faith to burn the Koran.
