Karlskoga, April 2024

In the beginning of 2025 we continued our cooperation with our Spanish partner school. A new group of their students visited us in Karlskoga and worked together with some of our students on the topic of disinformation.

Here are some of the materials that the students developed.

 

1.Examples of disinformation in Sweden and Spain.

 

The burning of the Qur’an 

A group of right-wing extremists wanted to split the people in Sweden, the goal was to make people think that the Muslims were bad people and to make the Muslims angry at the government who couldn’t do anything because what they were doing was legal and fell under the law about freedom of speech. Since they only talked bad about the religion and not the people they had found a loophole in the law. Some people wanted to change the law so that you couldn’t speak bad about religions, but the government didn’t listen, they said that if they started to interfere with our freedom of speech, where to draw the line? Some people said that what they were doing was incitement which is an offence to the law.

Zapatero's search and capture warrant

News is circulating that there is search and captured warrant against the former Spanish president José Luis Rodríguez. But it is not true that the FBI has "confirmed" or published a search and arrest warrant against former Spanish president José Luiz Rodríguez Zapatero. The contents that spread this statement do not provide evidence to prove it and the US intelligence service has not published any statement about Zapatero.
