It has become increasingly clear how great the challenges are in implementing the directive in a national context, both for us in Sweden and in other EU countries. Therefore, a relaunch at EU level is needed and we are now taking the initiative to do so.

Stromstad police and the municipality have requested the closure of Systembolaget to keep inebriated Norwegians off the town's streets, reports Swedish public radio station P4 Vast.

The result was a vote of no confidence in a centrist government led by the Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen. Her administration was, in the Danish context, an unusual political construction.

The election campaign could be marked by disinformation and cyberattacks to sow division, influence the public debate or to target candidates, parties or specific political programmes. The threat of interference targeting Denmark comes mainly from Russia but could also emanate from other state actors.

BankID is used to quickly and securely identify yourself and access a wide variety of basic services in Sweden, from online shopping checkouts to appointment bookings in the 1177 healthcare service system. The challenge for foreigners in Sweden is that a BankID can only be obtained by opening a bank account and opening a bank account is one of the services usually done via a BankID.

Current liabilities far exceed both cash at hand and projected income. I wish to place on record my grateful thanks to the membership for their efforts for our party and for our cause. It has been a privilege to work with them. We can be proud of what we sought to achieve and also the support which we gave to our founder in his time of need.

The government this year intends to submit a number of bills so late that they can't be processed in June. Members of parliament will be asked to return to the chamber on August 12th and 13th. The Swedish people expect us to work hard and I expect parliament to take that seriously and prioritise a continued high pace above summer vacation.

Sweden's parliament is set to vote on Wednesday afternoon to impose a new minimum salary for work permits set at 90 percent of Sweden's median wage, with the new requirement in force from June 1st. The new threshold will increase the minimum salary for a permit from the current level of 29,680 kronor to 33,390 kronor when it comes into effect in June 2026, and will also empower the government to exempt work permits for certain jobs.

For many women in the U.S. and around the world, motherhood comes with career costs. Raising children tends to lead to lower wages and fewer work hours for mothers - but not fathers - in the United States and around the world. As a sociologist, I study how family relationships can shape your economic circumstances. In the past, I've studied how motherhood tends to depress women's wages, something social scientists call the " motherhood penalty."

We are an apolitical organisation campaigning for the inclusion of transitional provisions in the forthcoming law on tightened requirements for Swedish citizenship. It is not asking for the rules to be abolished or made more lenient, only that the rules in force when an applicant submits their application should be the same rules their application is assessed against.

You know what is at stake. Whether I will continue to be your prime minister depends on how strong a mandate you give the Social Democrats in the parliamentary election to be held on March 24th, 2026. It will now be up to you, the voters, to decide which direction will be set for Denmark for the next four years, and I am really looking forward to it.
