Left Party: One percent floor instead of settlements
With an acute climate emergency and a serious humanitarian situation in the world, it is not enough for the government to reduce aid through the extensive settlements it has now chosen to make. Sweden has every opportunity to be a refuge for people fleeing war and oppression and at the same time stand up for an aid policy worthy of the name. It writes the Left Party's aid policy spokesperson Yasmine Posio.

More and more people in developing countries are suffering from obesity, which is fatal. The causes of the problem are poverty, unequal societies and dietary changes with increased amounts of sugar, salt and fat. This leads to the so-called "double burden", where countries are allowed to work on two fronts - both against communicable and non-communicable diseases.
