Is this a racist movie? Ruben Östlund’s latest film — a story of poor black and middle class white children which deliberate plays on the audience’s prejudices — has sparked controversy in Sweden. 
If Mubarak failed to cut the Egyptian revolutionaries off from the rest of the world last January, it was thanks to a Swedish student and theorist of hacktivism: Christopher Kullenberg, named “Swede of the Year” by the weekly Fokus. A profile. 
A Swedish journalist of Palestinian origin embarks on a tour of Europe to take an inventory of the use of Arabic across the continent with surprising results. 
As the eurozone crisis deepens, the countries outside of it are trying to come up with ways not to lose control of their destinies inside the EU. 
The 23 October Eurozone summit may be followed by a second meeting on the 26th, requested by France and Germany. Le Figaro argues that this development in the manner in which the crisis is being addressed is proof that in spite of disagreements, the Berlin-Paris axis and the intergovernmental method have prevailed over the idea of a federal Europe.
They demand transparency and direct democracy, and almost one in ten voters in Berlin gave them their vote. The Pirate Party is no longer just a party for Net-nerds in hoodies, but represents demands from across society. 
Upping sticks to work elsewhere is a natural part of life in the United States. But not in Europe, where people are often afraid to move away from their home turf. A Swedish journalist argues that this lack of mobility is a handicap in the current crisis. 
The crisis has accelerated the emergence of a new social class in Europe. Dubbed "the precariat" by sociologists, it is made up of young people with no prospect of a decent job or a reasonable standard of living. 
As of 1 September, conventional light bulbs of more than 40 watts will be taken off the market. In the countries of the Arctic Circle, it’s a step into the dark that’s being badly received. Just who is it who has wrought this change in our daily life? wonders Dagens Nyheter. 
Right up to the slaughter of 22 July, Norway was considered immunised against extremism. Lacking real political connections, a radical movement has nonetheless organised. And its extent remains unknown. 
While some local authorities are struggling to cope with the burden of domestic waste, their colleagues in other countries see it as an opportunity for financial gain. Polish weekly Polityka reports on Sweden’s booming waste industry. 
Yesterday the energy saving lamp, today data retention. Tomorrow: recording your frequent flyer points and what hotel you stay in. Its highly questionable and intrusive meddling is costing the EU the trust of the public. 
From the eastern Baltic to the western straits, Scandinavians are building everything underground: roads, tunnels, and even huge shopping malls. Polish weekly Polityka reports. 
The debate about secularism organised in France by the ruling right-wing UMP party has been decried by the Muslim community as a brutal attack on Islam, while the Left has seen it as a disguised attempt to curry favour with the supporters of the National Front. But no debate at all is a victory for extremism, argues a Polish editorialist. 
The government of Europe leans to the right on one side; the "shadow cabinet" made up of the opposition leans to the left on the other. Step by lurching step, the economic and financial crisis is laying the foundations for democracy across the EU, finds the French columnist Bernard Guetta. 
For years, Sweden has benefited from a flattering reputation for equality, freedom and simplicity. However, criticism voiced by supporters of Julian Assange paints a more sombre image of the country akin to the stark backdrop for Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy. 
Italy has requested financial assistance from the EU to cope with the wave of migrants from north Africa. Instead of increasing the budget of Frontex, the border security agency, the EU should rather reform its asylum policy to foster economic integration of immigrants. 
Every day, 305 Dutch citizens leave the Netherlands to live abroad. Sweden, which offers tranquility and a life that is close to nature, is one of their favourite destinations. 
The ongoing case to extradite WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange from the UK to Sweden, where he is accused of sexual assault and rape, has triggered a major debate about the issue of sexual consent. 
The arrest of the WikiLeaks’ founder in London on the basis of a warrant issued by Swedish authorities will serve as a test of new cross-border procedures to fight crime in the EU. But do these procedures do enough to safeguard citizens’ rights? 
As the world gets bigger, and the rush for the resources beneath the Artic sea intensifies, the countries of Europe’s far North are seeking common cause. 
On 18 November, the European Commission will present outline proposals for the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy. The main objective: to restore a balance in the sharing of costs and subsidies. 
There is nothing anodyne about the violent student protests in London, writes Dagens Nyheter, now that the controversy surrounding the hike in college fees has raised the question of the cost of university education for the masses. 
In recent months, a lone gunman has spread fear in the streets of Malmö, drawing attention to a changing city that is struggling to overcome its negative image and ingrained complexes. 
The new far right not only exerts a growing influence on national governments, it is also organising at a European level and could soon weigh heavily on the very workings of the EU, warns French columnist Bernard Guetta. 
Nationalists and immigrant-baiting parties are fast entering the European political mainstream, and even traditionally centrist parties are now trying to play their game, notes British Labour MP and former Minister for Europe Denis McShane. 
Tensions between regions in Belgium and Italy, and the expulsion of the Roma from France have highlighted an underlying conflict in societies that wish to be both generous and socially diverse. According to two French economists, it is a tug-of-war that also has the potential to undermine the European Union. 
With its representatives confined to the opposition benches nearly everywhere in Europe, the left is increasingly unable to propose a real alternative in a world where ideology is progressively disappearing. 
The Sweden Democrats’ breakthrough at the polls on 19 September is no anomaly: throughout northern European, in societies hitherto admired for their tolerance and cohesion, overtly xenophobic parties are now riding a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment.
