Jimmie Åkesson (SD) thinks that Ebba Busch’s performance is positive.

According to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Sweden deals with three parallel threats to the country’s internal security: terrorism and violent extremism, hostile state actors and serious organized crime.
“It is extremely serious that state actors use gang criminals in Sweden to commit acts of violence here. We have previously seen the connection we now see in Sweden in other European countries. It is system-threatening activity that threatens our free and open society,” says Kristersson (M) in a written statement.
This since the Security Police has singled out Iran for using gang criminals in Sweden as proxies for hostile acts.
Kristersson continues that the government and the authorities are working hard to prevent other states from carrying out security-threatening activities in Sweden.
“Security around Jewish and Israeli objects has been increased in the past, but I have great respect for the fact that this situation is extremely unpleasant for many Jews in Sweden. You should know that the government, the Police Authority and the Security Police take this very seriously,” writes Kristersson, among other things.

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.
