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…
PETER BIÖRCK
Sweden second worst in the Nordics in terms of corruption, isn’t it of interest who is worse than us then?

If I don’t want to open an account in Swedbank, will I still get the money?
Nathalie Thor
You do not need to open an account with Swedbank, just register your bank account (regardless of which bank you have), to receive the electricity subsidy.
If you do not want to register your account, and do not receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority, you will receive a payment notice sent home.
Is it true? Noticed that an account with the pension authority is ok?
Claes
That’s right, if you have an account with the Pension Authorities, the electricity subsidy is paid out in connection with the pension.
“You who receive a general pension from the Pensions Authority do not have to do anything, you receive the money into your account as you usually receive your pension,” Swedbank writes on its website.
