Johannes Klenell: Järvafältet is not actually in outer space

The author responds to criticism regarding conversations with residents in Husby and discusses electoral participation in the Järva area.

Quick Look

The author defends his reporting from Husby and Järva, and emphasizes that residents in the area are well aware of the political rhetoric around migration and deportations, which influenced their voting behavior in the last election.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

The debate concerns the election results and experiences of the voting process in the Järva area. There have been discussions about whether residents in the area were subjected to pressure when voting.

Font size

This is the third time in this debate that the undersigned has allegedly not spoken to any resident of Husby. Well, I have.

It wasn't particularly difficult. Järvafältet is not in outer space.

When I did that, a Swedish-Somali woman stated sharply: "What else would we have voted for? Our issues are migration, jobs, rents and subsidies. Then there are only three parties left."

That it was noisy in the polling stations is confirmed by pretty much everyone. The pressure on the polling stations in the area was very high. A voter told me that they asked why so many people wanted to vote: "We don't want to be deported," was the answer. One woman had said that "this is probably the last time I get to vote in Sweden".

It's clear that the feeling that the choice was actually a matter of life and death - regardless of any clans - can be experienced as both engaging and pressing.

Maybe that's the problem with thinking the subway's blue line goes to a galaxy far, far away. That you realize that the people there live by their own rules and have not understood the political rhetoric of the last four years - even though they are the target.

After the election, the left-wing politician Mohamed Nuur from Järva had to report about fifty threats to the police - from the majority Swedish side.

The picture I got from talking to people is thus significantly more nuanced than the one that appeared in Peter Wennblad's editorial in Svenska Dagbladet (24/9). Just like the myth of the "hundred Eritrean women" in Rinkeby who, according to witnesses, "klan voted" for a social democrat. A search in the personal registration register shows that in that case they have done it on either a pure Swedish LGBT person or a nurse who campaigned under the slogan "Tick a feminist".

Vesna Prekopic doesn't think I should talk about people in Järva, but rather with them. I have done that. The reason it was not printed in the text (9/10) is simple. After all, the statement "As you shout, you get an answer" applies to both me and Wennblad.

What I was arguing for was how sloppy mix-ups, political gamesmanship and pure prejudice constructed a story that, on closer inspection, doesn't quite add up.

This can be said without detracting from the experiences of those who experienced pressure.

Open Questions

  • ?How extensive was the pressure in the polling stations?
  • ?What specific parties was the woman referring to?

DN Debate. "Fertilizer is not a piece of shit - but we waste it"

Swedish agriculture is dependent on imported mineral fertilizers and energy, which makes it vulnerable to geopolitical disturbances and price increases. At the same time, there are nutritious animal manure and biogas rot residues that can be recirculated, but transport and processing are costly. Researchers and organizations propose three policy measures: national target for recirculated waterfalls, expanded biogas support for nutrient enrichment and result-based compensation for phosphorus removal, to strengthen food security and reduce eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.

DN Debate. "May I tell you about 'Lise-Lott'?"

Abused and abused as a child, Lise-Lott was first given buprenorphine for heroin addiction but continued to miss treatment until ADHD was diagnosed and treated with medication, which stabilized her life. When she was forced to change clinics and stop ADHD medication, she quickly relapsed and was raped and overdosed. The article highlights research showing that ADHD has a strong genetic basis, that drug treatment reduces mortality, self-harm and crime, and that it improves addiction treatment in comorbidity, and criticizes the media space given to anti-science claims about ADHD.
