▼ + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( Christian Edwards | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —A spate of Quran-burning protests in Sweden and Denmark has caused angry demonstrations in Muslim-majority countries, heightened security fears at home and left both Scandinavian nations questioning whether they need to review their liberal laws on freedom of speech. But both countries signaled Sunday that they are exploring legal ways to prevent such protests, amid security and geopolitical concerns. While freedom of speech has long been a constitutional right in Sweden and Denmark, the scrapping of blasphemy laws was a more recent development. But neither country tightened their free speech laws in response to these attacks. “Sweden is right now the target of influence campaigns, supported by states and state-like actors, whose purpose is to harm Sweden and Swedish interests,” said Bohlin.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Swedish automaker Volvo Cars (VOLCARb.ST) will temporary close one of its factories due to a chip shortage, the company told newspaper Goteborgs-Posten on Tuesday. "There will be a temporary break in production," Merhawit Habte, press spokesperson at Volvo Cars told GP, adding the factory will be closed for one week. "It is the ongoing problem with semiconductor shortages." Volvo said last month that demand remained good, but the component shortages as well as power cuts and COVID-19 outbreaks in China interrupted output.

☆ Шведские врачи против массовой вакцинации: «Не вакцинируйте молодых и здоровых»

Группа из 28 шведских медицинских экспертов в открытом письме призвала вакцинировать против COVID-19 только людей из групп риска, но не молодых людей и здоровых. В противном случае мы рискуем повторить фатальные ошибки, допущенные при вакцинации от свиного гриппа», – написали эксперты в письме, цитируемом Sputnik Italia. Вскоре против свиного гриппа была разработана вакцина, и по всему миру ввели 60-90 миллионов доз. Фактором, который сбивает с толку, является то, что вирус свиного гриппа вызывает нарколепсию, что затрудняет определение истинной причины этого эффекта. Предупреждение шведских специалистов противоречит общей стратегии вакцинации, реализованной Шведским агентством общественного здравоохранения, государственным эпидемиологом Андерсом Тегнеллом и координатором кампании по вакцинации Ричардом Бергстремом.
