🧑🎄 2022 in the EU: ProgressivA podcast 🇪🇺
👉 2022 was a long difficult year for many Europeans, first of all for those who suffered the consequences of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Our thoughts are with all of them. However, also good things happened, and in this difficult period, we want to focus also on the positive in our life, and on the positive changes happening at the European level. We chatted about the Fit for 55 updates of the European Climate law, new legislation on mental health and the need for prevention, and minimum wage and labor standards.

🇸🇪 Sweden’s New Government 🇪🇺
A new article on Sweden by Simon Davidsson, a Ph.D. candidate in political science in Lund, Sweden. Since October 18, Sweden's new government consists of the conservative Moderates and Christian Democrats together with the center-right Liberals. The three are in minority and have struck a formal agreement with the far-right Sweden Democrats. The agreement gives the government support of a 176 to 173 majority in the Swedish Riksdag. The new government, as well as the preceding electoral campaign and the formation negotiations, represent several novelties and changes in Swedish political life. It also means major policy changes for the labor market, migration, and energy sector, with consequences for Sweden, Europe, and beyond, changes that suggest that it matters greatly if the left or the right is in office.
