  • So they close all of their nuclear power plants so that they have to buy electricity from the Nordic countries. According to current EU regulations, those Nordic countries must sell power on a free EU market. The electricity then becomes much more expensive because of that new demand.

    And now Germany says it should not be possible regulate this? There’s a general election in Sweden in a few weeks and parties are trying to find way to separate these electricity markets.

    All of the above feels wrong




  • I have lived in Sweden my entire life and this, to me, sounds like just part of the picture. The public healthcare system is far from perfect and it can definitely be frustrating (and surely, in some cases, even a health risk) to wait for specialist care. However, my personal experience is that when really serious stuff happens this system works. My dad fell down from the roof of their house a couple of years ago and was unconscious when I found him (he’s alright - just a dummy not having any safety equipment). We were picked up by ambulance and in the ER not 15 minutes from my call.

    That said, I’m 100% for a larger welfare sector. Lessen the vårdköer and offer arbetstidsförkortning for hospital staff
