THREE NEWS FROM THE DAY YOU CAN’T MISS
The Left Party loses 2.1 percentage points to 7.8 percent according to a new opinion poll conducted by Indikator opinion on behalf of Ekot.
According to the radio, V has lost to the Social Democrats, which increases by 2.5 percent to 33.5 percent compared to the last survey in June. However, the decline of V is the only statistically certain change.
Per Oleskog Tryggvason, head of opinion at Indikator, tells Ekot that Vänstern’s loss could be explained by the fact that the party reached a temporary peak when Jonas Sjöstedt appeared in the EU elections in June and that it has recently struggled with anti-Semitic statements among its representatives. He also points out that the investigation period only partially covers the lottery scandal within S.
The Christian Democrats and the Liberals are still below the barrier with 3.5 and 3.4 percent respectively.
The opposition – S, V, MP and C – gets a total of 53.1 percent, while the Tidö parties collect 45.8.

Iran’s security service has carried out a special operation against targets in Sweden, according to prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist.
Hackers sent over 15,000 text messages calling for revenge against Koran burners.
Something that Iran now denies:
“The accusations against Iran of sending text messages to Swedish citizens and inciting them to avenge the burning of the Koran are baseless,” the Iranian embassy in Sweden states to Tasnim News.
Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) confirms to Aftonbladet that Iran’s ambassador has been summoned by the Foreign Ministry – due to the special operation.
“That a state actor, in this case Iran, according to the Security Police’s assessment is behind an action that aims to destabilize Sweden or increase polarization in our country is of course very serious – and completely unacceptable,” Malmer Stenergar writes in an email to Aftonbladet and continues:
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has today summoned Iran’s chargé d’affaires to emphasize how seriously we view what happened”.
