Some things can only happen in Sweden

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government.

Botkyrka which is a suburb AKA a disadvantaged area to Stockholm and constantly on the razor’s edge. The municipality to which this suburb belongs is governed by the Social Democrats, who as recently as February 2023 denied that their organization in Botkyrka had been infiltrated by gang criminals. A denial they later had to retract. The then municipal chairman who warned that gang criminals had infiltrated the Social Democrats was overthrown in June 2023.

To counter gang crime, Botkyrka municipality has received $5,739,000 in grants from the government. Of this money, the municipality took $35,300 and let 23 municipal politicians travel to New York at the taxpayers' expense. When this was discovered, the Social Democrats' press director Lennart Agén confirmed that a mistake had been made and that they would refund the full amount.

If I happen to take my husband's jacket instead of mine, that's a mistake, booking, paying and sending 23 municipal politicians at taxpayer expense to New York is intentional.
