  • S demands an answer from the prime minister

    SD has opened up cooperation in the EU with pro-Russian parties far to the right, such as the National Front in France.

    Something Aftonbladet was able to report yesterday.

    Now the Social Democrats are demanding information from Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson about his cooperation with SD.

    – Should SD sit in meetings in the EU with Russia’s extended arm and parties that have close links to Putin? asks the Social Democrats’ party secretary Tobias Baudin at a press conference.

    Baudin is also critical of Kristersson not participating in Järvaveckan.

    – We are in the middle of an election campaign that is characterized by divisive messages and where the largest party in his government documents is reaching out to pro-Putin parties. It is serious. One can ask why he chose not to participate?

  • What does it mean that Trump is impeached? Can he get jail time?

    Peace

    Hey Fred!

    Yes, he can. The maximum penalty for the crimes he was convicted of is four years in prison, according to the New York Times. But that he will receive a prison sentence is seen as unlikely by several American experts, because he has not been convicted before.

    What sentence he may be announced on July 11.

  • You should probably double check the stated temperatures in the post about the heat wave in Mexico City.

    Eve

    Hello Eva! I also thought it appeared like very low record temperatures in Mexico City, when we had 38 degrees in Målilla. But this 34.7 degrees actually seems to be the heat record in Mexico City, writes concurring international media. The fact that it doesn’t get warmer seems to be because the city is located in a valley at a very high altitude.
