Uppseendeväckande och gediget gräv om SD och Kremlkopplingar av @jonathanleman.bsky.social och @mariageorgieva.bsky.social . SD tycks ha placerat en starkt Kremlvänlig politisk sekreterare i riksdagens konstitutionsutskott expo.se/fordjupning/...

Den okända sekreteraren ”Elena”
Hon var 2017 anonymiserad som SD-sekreteraren ”Elena” på en statligt finansierad påverkansoperationsresa till Ryssland. I dag är hon politiskt sakkunnig i konstitutionsutskottet och sambo till en av Tidöavtalets huvudarkitekter. Expos granskning avslöjar SD-tjänstemannens kopplingar till ryska nätverk och spridning av samma propaganda som Kreml använder mot väst. Enligt säkerhetsexperter är omständigheterna runt henne att betrakta som en säkerhetsrisk – men Sverigedemokraterna vägrar svara.

Key text is Covid Inquiry in white, our response below in black. “Initial guidance on preventing the spread of infection was flawed. It assumed the virus was spread by contact transmission, failing properly to consider the extent to which it was also spread by airborne transmission.” It was not ‘flawed’. It is wrong. This was not a failure ‘to consider’, it was a direct (and possibly deliberate) opposition to what was already known about transmission.  It continues to be.

Background is pale green strip at top, and emerald green body with white main text. Logo at top left is Greens Against Covid logo - Green Party of England and Walkes sunflower with white virus inside crossed out. Title at top is GREENS AGAINST COVID. Below this is #CovidInquiry.
