In order to stimulate growth in the sparsely populated area, the small Swedish town of Gottjeni is offering building plots at ridiculous prices. The response is overwhelming.
Land for building at less than ten cents per square meter: Because of this deal offer, a small town in southwestern Sweden has been seized by interested parties. “We started the campaign in mid-April,” said Johan Mansson, mayor of Goteni, a town of 5,000 people. 30 properties that have been abandoned for decades have been put up for sale at a price per square meter of one Swedish krona (about ten cents). It was a “crazy idea” and a marketing campaign.
“With this attractive offer, the municipality wanted to provide more living space in the low-density area and thus stimulate growth in the area,” Mansson continued. The properties on offer range in size from seven to 1,200 square metres. When purchasing, the new owner undertakes to build a house on them within two years. Shortly after the campaign began, three properties were sold, which is “a great success for such a small community,” said Mayor Mansson. “We could never have imagined what would happen to us.”
Sales have been temporarily halted
Because when a local TV station reported the unusual offer at the end of June, the story spread like wildfire: Swedish media reported, a video was distributed on the Tiktok platform, two English-language media outlets picked up the story and millions of people discovered it Götene and unbeatable land prices .
From that moment on, the city government was inundated with emails and calls. In the meantime, sales were halted so that all offers could be considered. “We have interested parties from Europe, Asia — especially India and Pakistan — as well as the United States, Australia and even South America,” said Mayor Manson. The campaign has put the small town “on the world map.” The property sale will continue at auction in early August.

The Hungarian government cancelled an appointment with Foreign Minister Baerbock in Budapest at short notice. In light of Prime Minister Orbán’s trip to Moscow, tensions have arisen between the two countries.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s trip to Budapest scheduled for Monday will not take place. According to the Foreign Ministry in Berlin, Hungary cancelled Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto’s appointment with Baerbock at short notice.
The office regretted the cancellation, as „a serious and sincere personal conversation between the two foreign ministers (…) would have been important in light of Prime Minister Orbán’s sudden and uncoordinated visit to Moscow.” The trip should therefore be rescheduled for a later date.
Criticism from the European Union and NATO
Despite widespread criticism from the European Union and Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday — just days after his country took over the presidency of the Council of the European Union. The topic was, among other things, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
In a joint press statement with Putin, Orban stressed that peace in Europe will not come by itself, but must be worked on by all parties. The positions of Moscow and Kiev are too far apart. An important step towards this was taken with the trip. He wants to continue on this path.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas accused Orban of using his country’s EU presidency to stir up trouble. Kallas is the designated successor to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. Several EU representatives also stressed that Orban has no formal mandate to negotiate with Russia.

After the televised duel with Biden, Democrats are looking for alternatives. Poll shows: Michelle Obama could compete with Trump.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Incumbent U.S. President Joe Biden is the loser in the first televised duel. That has worried his party colleagues. Some Democrats are now looking for a quick alternative to the 2024 U.S. election because Biden is so unpopular among the population. A July 1-2 poll found that only former first lady Michelle Obama could definitely beat former President Donald Trump.
In one Reuters/ Ipsos-Opinion poll With about 1,000 respondents, 50 percent of voters surveyed said they would vote for Obama if the election were held that day. Trump only got 39 percent of the pairing. With a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points, this is a clear winner for Obama, especially in contrast to Biden. In a Biden-Trump matchup, both candidates received 40 percent of eligible voters surveyed. Even compared to the other potential candidates surveyed, Obama was the only one who did significantly better.
Trump attacks Obama, other candidates will perform worse in 2024 US election
In response to the poll, the potential Republican nominee also took aim at Obama, who has long been considered a potential replacement for Biden. Trump said loudly: Newsweek At a campaign event: “They interviewed everyone. I interviewed Michelle Obama, and her poll numbers were terrible. No, their poll numbers are terrible.” Obama fared much better than Trump (42%) and Biden (38%), not only in the hypothetical election result, but also in the popularity question, at 55%.
Current Vice President Kamala Harris trailed Trump by one percentage point in a hypothetical election (42% to 43%). California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the governor were further behind Trump, as was the governor of Illinois, known as J.B. Pritzker. In addition to Obama, Biden has performed better than other potential alternative candidates. “It’s hard to believe, but corrupt Joe Biden has better poll numbers than these people,” Trump said at a campaign event. The other Democrats on the list, however, remain largely unknown nationally. That would change quickly if he ran for president.
Just 'Barack Nostalgia’: 2024 US Election Likely to Remain a Trump-Biden Duel
“Polls showing that Michelle Obama could beat Donald Trump simply reflect nostalgia for Barack,” said Thomas Gift, director of the Centre for American Politics at University College London. Newsweek“It’s easy to beat the competition when you don’t have a political platform and aren’t being scrutinized like the 2024 presidential candidates.”
Gift described the idea that Michelle Obama could run for the Democratic nomination against Trump in the 2024 US election as fanciful. Obama has repeatedly said she does not want to run. Obama spokeswoman Crystal Carson confirmed that „Mrs. Obama supports the re-election campaign of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.” NBC-News of the former first lady’s position.
After TV Duel Against Trump: Many Want Biden Out – Biden Remains Standing
According to one, the majority of viewers talked about the televised duel. CNNIn the poll, Trump was projected to win. Some Democrats have since called on Joe Biden to resign. The 81-year-old won’t be formally nominated as the nominee until August. However, it’s unlikely a replacement will be found by then. “I don’t think it’s likely that Biden will be elected,” campaign spokesman Seth Schuster said. NewsweekBiden is “not withdrawing.”

In the poll, 32 percent of Democratic voters also said that Biden should withdraw from the US election campaign after the televised duel. Of all those surveyed, 52 percent voted for Biden to go. 46 percent said that Trump should step down. This has been demonstrated several times in the past few months: in the US election in 2024, two candidates will face each other in a way that no one wants. However, it is unlikely that a better alternative will be found in the near future. (word)

According to opinion polls and forecasts, the Labour Party is the most likely candidate in the British elections in 2024.
LONDON – The Conservative Party has been in power in the United Kingdom for fourteen years. But that will soon come to an end. A Conservative victory in the 2024 British general election on July 4 is considered all but impossible. And recent opinion polls have been devastating for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party.

Or, to put it another way: how bad are things for the Conservatives? In any case, the latest opinion polls before the election in Great Britain do not allow for any other conclusion: the Conservatives are in danger of falling into insignificance.

Seat distribution projections based on the latest opinion polls for the 2024 UK general election
We should also bear in mind that in Great Britain, MPs are elected using majority voting – unlike in Germany, where personal proportional representation is used. For the Conservative Party, the predictions for the distribution of seats in the House of Commons based on the latest opinion polls are much worse than pure percentage values.
Many forecasts suggest the Conservatives will win around 100 seats. Sunak could also make history: according to the latest polls, he could become the first sitting prime minister in history to be voted out of office in his own constituency. The UK’s Reform Party, which is expected to win only a handful of seats in the House of Commons, is struggling with voting rights.
Latest polls and forecasts point to a clear outcome in the 2024 UK election
The House of Commons in London has 650 seats. These are distributed among MPs from the four parts of the United Kingdom. Each MP represents one constituency: 543 in England, 57 in Scotland, 32 in Wales and 18 in Northern Ireland.
The last general election in Great Britain was held in December 2019. The Conservative Party, led by former party leader Boris Johnson, clearly exceeded the absolute majority of 326 seats in the election, winning 365 seats. The Labour Party won 202 seats at the time. The Scottish National Party won 48 seats, while the Liberal Democrats won eleven seats. (CS / AFP / AFP)
