Last time in Sweden was midsommmar 2022, in Umeå. And it actually did not get dark. But also I wasn’t really sleepy during those days
This time, it's almost winter solstice and I'm way more north in Luleå. Sunrise at 9:37, sundown at 13:11 😲 We will see how that goes

AfD-Boykott zu den Landtagswahlen 2026 in BW und Rheinland-Pfalz Keine Wahlpodien mit der AfD
In Belgien weigerten sich im Europawahlkampf 2024 die etablierten politischen Parteien im Rahmen des „Cordon sanitaire“, einer echten Brandmauer, mit der extremen Rechten zusammenzuarbeiten. Festzuhalten ist ein geringer Wahlerfolg der rechten Parteien in Belgien (vgl. (3) und (4)). Die Autoren der europäischen Cambridge-Studie von 2022 finden keine Hinweise dafür, dass Anpassungsstrategien die Unterstützung der radikalen Rechten verringern.
