Time for southbound train

Tonight my bag is packed and tomorrow it is time to travel to the southern city of Malmö and this year's biggest political event in Sweden: the congress of the world's best social democratic party. I will be there all week, working, writing and blogging, mostly at aip.nu. I will try to post some conclusions in English here as well.

Earlier tonight I participated in the weekly "Press club" (Pressklubben), a 25-minute show at Svt24 in which four journalists discuss political events. Tonight we discussed, most naturally, the upcoming congress and as usual I played the role of the happy, positive social democrat whom defends the party against all evils and accusations. Actually, it was not that bad, I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the interesting and I hope enlightening discussion with my fellow panelists Göran Eriksson (one of Sweden’s best political journalists), Stina Morian and Niklas Svensson. You can watch the show here.
