In a significant move that could reshape Sweden's public service landscape, new proposals by the Tidöparties aim to drastically reduce funding and control content for SR, SVT, and UR.

The plans include halving the requested budget increases for these institutions, which could lead to reduced program diversity and a merger of the companies in the last three years of the new broadcasting license period.

Critics argue that these changes threaten the independence of journalism and could undermine the nation's commitment to free speech and media diversity.

Amidst these concerns, there is a call to action for public protests and submissions of objections to the culture department to halt what some see as the 'Orbanization' of Swedish media.

This comes at a time when public trust in SR and SVT remains high, highlighting the potential disconnect between government policy and public opinion.
