When you prioritize yourself over the citizens

I think we will have a long winter this season in Stockholm. The first cold and snow came already in November last year and it is only getting colder and more snowfall.

On Monday, according to meteorologists, the temperature will drop to 8.6°F (-13°C), which is cold considering that Stockholm is made up of islands and thus surrounded by a lot of water.

There is still much to be desired when it comes to snow removal in Stockholm. I have given up hope that those who rule in Stockholm municipality, the Social Democrats and the Green Party, will shift the priority from bike lanes to sidewalks and roads instead.

The only sidewalk that is cleared of snow is the one outside Stockholm's city hall, which is the workplace for those who govern the city, Social Democrats and the Green Party with the Left Party's tacit acceptance.
