"SWEDEN IS BACK"
Sweden's former and future Prime Minister, Magdalena Andersson, gave an interview to Politico on the day of her election victory.
Notably, Magdalena Andersson attended the #Bilderberg Conference in 2016 while serving as Sweden's Finance Minister (see below). She subsequently participated in the 2024 and 2025 meetings in her capacity as Leader of the Opposition.
Politico is part of the German media group Axel Springer SE, whose Chairman and CEO, Mathias Döpfner, is a member of the Bilderberg Meetings Steering Committee.
‘SWEDEN IS BACK’: MAGDALENA ANDERSSON HAS BIG PLANS FOR EUROPE
In an interview with POLITICO, Sweden’s election winner reveals her unfinished business with Russia, Trump — and the far right.
STOCKHOLM — After four years in opposition, Sweden’s former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson is about to retake power — and she aims to use it to fortify Europe’s place in an unstable world.
Andersson is in the middle of coalition talks as she prepares for a second stint as prime minister at the head of a left-leaning government, after winning a tight election against the right and far-right earlier this month.
In an exclusive interview with POLITICO conducted on election day, the Social Democrat leader set out her mission to refocus Swedish foreign policy — and to give the EU more muscle.

Pictured below is Magdalena Andersson at the 2023 Bilderberg Conference in Lisbon, alongside Oscar Stenström, who was then Sweden’s chief negotiator for NATO accession. He would later become Director of the Wallenberg Office and organizer of the 2025 Bilderberg Conference in Stockholm.
ULF IS LEAVING, MAGDALENA IS ARRIVING
Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (who attended the 2019 #Bilderberg Conference and presided over the opening ceremony of the 2025 Bilderberg Conference) has announced that he will resign following the electoral defeat in the recent general election.
Logically, he will be replaced by the current opposition leader, Magdalena Andersson (who attended the 2016, 2023, and 2025 Bilderberg Conferences).
SWEDISH PM KRISTERSSON RESIGNS AFTER ELECTION LOSS
"Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has resigned after his ruling right-wing bloc was narrowly defeated by the centre-left opposition in the country's general election.
He made the announcement in a post on X on Thursday afternoon, after preliminary votes from Sunday's election showed about 50,000 votes separated the two blocs in the country of about 10 million people.
Opposition parties led by Magdalena Andersson of the Social Democrats look set to win 176 seats in the 349-seat Riksdag, Sweden's parliament..."

We invite you to read this interesting article written by our friend Josh Friedman (who, like us, has been following the activities of the #Bilderberg Group for many years), entitled "Necessity and Innovation in Wartime Ukraine", which is reminiscent of the discussions that have taken place in recent years at the Bilderberg Conferences on the "Future of Warfare".
NECESSITY AND INNOVATION IN WARTIME UKRAINE
"More than four years into Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, battlefield pressures are driving rapid technological change and transforming Ukraine into a military power, from which countries including the United States can learn crucial lessons.
While Ukraine has largely halted Russia’s advance on the battlefield so far this year — and even recaptured territory at times — pain and suffering are still evident around the country, particularly in frontline regions, as well as in cities that get pounded by Russian missiles and drones on a regular basis. Over the past month, as CalCoastNews has visited Ukraine, civilians have been killed in ways ranging from direct missile impact on apartment blocks to targeted drone strikes on pedestrians and vehicles, the latter being part of an ongoing “human safari” in the southeastern city of Kherson..."

As a reminder, Josh Friedman was the only journalist to cover the entire 2022 Bilderberg Conference in Washington, D.C.
He granted us an interview the following year in which he recounted this unique experience. To listen:

Necessity has driven innovation in Ukraine’s warfighting capabilities. U.S. and western officials now have a lot to learn from Ukraine’s progress on the battlefield and in drone warfare.

For the record, the President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, took part in his official capacity at the 72nd #Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington D.C. from April 9 to 12, 2026.
PRESIDENT OF THE EUROGROUP, KYRIAKOS PIERRAKAKIS, TRAVELS TO FRANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE G7 FINANCE MINISTERS AND CENTRAL BANK GOVERNORS MEETING
Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis will travel to France to participate in the G7 meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors which takes place on 18-19 May in Paris (...).
Speaking ahead of his participation in the meeting, Minister Pierrakakis said:
"The situation in the Middle East highlights just how exposed our interconnected economies are to external shocks. The current economic challenges constitute global challenges. In this context, the G7 finance ministers meeting offers an important opportunity for the European Union to engage in dialogue with its international partners and find joint solutions that benefit the global economy.
Opening the Strait of Hormuz and bringing the conflict to a lasting end are of the utmost importance in mitigating the impact on the economy. The European economy has proven resilient in the face of this energy crisis. Yet, the global economy will feel the pressure – even if the conflict is resolved swiftly.
Global macroeconomic imbalances must be viewed in a broader context. The EU’s agenda to deepen our capital markets and make the European economy more investible will contribute to more sustainable levels of macroeconomic imbalances. However, reducing the imbalances is a shared responsibility of all major economic regions."

Gestern habe ich mit @PalantirTech-CEO Alex Karp gesprochen. Er wunderte sich über den deutschen Umgang mit seiner Firma, die er mit Peter Thiel gegründet hat und sagte: „Peter und ich sind mit Abstand die prominentesten deutschen und/oder deutschsprachigen Geschäftsleute der Welt (...) Wenn wir Franzosen wären, hätten die Franzosen uns gezwungen, französische Pässe zu haben, nur Französisch zu sprechen und unseren Namen in ‘Falantir’ zu ändern.“ Derweil spreche man in Deutschland über Palantir als ginge es um „Hexerei“.

Some of my followers pointed out that two other Dutch nationals participated in the 72nd Bilderberg Conference, which took place at the Salamander Hotel in Washington, D.C., from April 9 to 12, 2026, in addition to those mentioned in the post below. These were NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and his Chief of Staff, Geoffrey van Leeuwen.
That's correct, and I thank them for it. However, it's worth noting that they attended the meeting as international guests, not as Dutch citizens.
Both had previously attended the 2025 Bilderberg Conference together in Stockholm (see below).
Before that, Mark Rutte had already participated in 10 such meetings when he was Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

Some of my followers rightly pointed out that the selfie of Rob Jetten and Sigrid Kaag couldn't have been taken from the terrace of the Salamander Hotel, but rather from the Ohio Drive Bridge. I thank them for their clarification.
Nevertheless, it was taken during the 72nd Bilderberg Conference.
This gives me the opportunity to specify that this was Ms. Kaag's fifth such meeting.
She attended four Bilderberg Meetings between 2018 and 2024, as Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands, and UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza.

Why do you say it was his “first attendance on record”? Karp has been on Bilderberg’s official participant lists over and over for years and @FreeManReporter has repeatedly photographed and filmed him outside of the meetings.
These are from 2019, 2023, and 2024, for instance:

For the record Peter Mandelson, Baron Mandelson of Foy, took part in 6 #Bilderberg Meetings between 1999 and 2014. The first time was as a Labour MP and that year his travel and accommodation expenses had been covered by the organisers: publications.parliament.uk/p…
Incidentally, the Epstein Files contain one or two exchanges between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein in which Bilderberg is mentioned.
The current British Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, cited in the article, participated in the Bilderberg Conferences of 2022, 2023, and 2026.
His first appearance was funded by Newbridge Advisory, chaired by Bilderberg Steering Committee member Sir John Sawers, when he was an opposition member of parliament. publications.parliament.uk/p…
REVEALED: MANDELSON FAILED VETTING BUT FOREIGN OFFICE OVERRULED DECISION
"Peter Mandelson failed his security vetting clearance but the decision was overruled by the Foreign Office to ensure he could take up his post as ambassador to the US, an investigation by the Guardian can reveal.
According to multiple sources, Mandelson was initially denied clearance in late January 2025 after a developed vetting process, a highly confidential background check by security officials.
Keir Starmer had by then announced he would be making Mandelson the UK’s chief diplomat in Washington, posing a dilemma for officials at the Foreign Office, who decided to use a rarely used authority to override the recommendation from security officials.
Mandelson’s failure to secure vetting approval has not previously been publicly revealed, despite intense scrutiny over his appointment and the release by the government of 147 pages of documents supposed to shed light on the case.
Downing Street released a statement late on Thursday confirming the Guardian’s story. It stressed the prime minister had no knowledge that security officials advised Mandelson should not be given clearance, and said responsibility lay with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
“The decision to grant developed vetting to Peter Mandelson against the recommendation of UK Security Vetting [UKSV] was taken by officials in the FCDO,” a government spokesperson said.
“Neither the prime minister, nor any government minister, was aware that Peter Mandelson was granted developed vetting against the advice of UK Security Vetting until earlier this week.
(...) It is not known who in the Foreign Office made the decision to overrule UKSV. Sir Olly Robbins, the current permanent secretary in the Foreign Office, was the department’s top civil servant in late January 2025 when the decision was made, having taken up the role earlier that month. The foreign secretary was David Lammy, who is now the deputy prime minister..."

On June 11, 2011, Peter Mandelson emailed Jeffrey Epstein, saying, "St. Moritz at Bilderberg with your friend from Norway."
The 2011 #Bilderberg Conference did indeed take place from June 9 to 12, 2011, at the Suvretta House Hotel in St. Moritz, Switzerland, where Lord Mandelson was present.
But who exactly was Epstein's Norwegian friend he was referring to?
The Norwegians present in St. Moritz were:
- Egil Myklebust (Bilderberg Steering Committee member, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors SAS, Norsk Hydro ASA)
- H.R.H. Crown Prince Haakon of Norway
- Ole Petter Ottersen (Rector, University of Oslo)
- Erna Solberg (Leader of the Conservative Party)
According to documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice, Epstein had no connection with these individuals.
So, who was this mysterious friend?
One possible hypothesis, though far-fetched, could be that it was Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, who accompanied her husband to Switzerland, though she did not participate in the Conference proceedings.
This would fit, since according to the documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice, Epstein and the princess had met a few weeks earlier in New York, through Dr. Boris Nikolic (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's science advisor), and become friends. They maintained a friendship until 2014.

EPSTEIN SCANDAL DEALS NEW BLOW TO NORWAY'S CROWN PRINCESS
Norway's crown princess, whose son goes on trial on Tuesday, February 3, on rape charges, has found herself embroiled in another scandal this weekend after newly unsealed files revealed her unexpected friendship with late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Her name appears at least 1,000 times in the millions of new Epstein documents released by the US Department of Justice on Friday, according to Norwegian daily VG. Messages between the two published in Norwegian media date from 2011 to 2014.
