Almost final (98,9%) results of the 2026 parliamentary elections in Hungary
W/h almost all votes counted (98,9%) the results of 2026 elections in Hungary 🇭🇺 confirm a legislative w/h a limited number of parties (3!), & a seriously rightward over-representstion. Tisza gets lion’s share 138 MPs (of 199 in total), Fidesz + Kdnp 55 MPs while Mi Hazánk hangs onto 6 MPs.
Elections update
W/h over 70% votes counted the situation seems little changed w/h still only those 3 parties in future parliament. Fidesz + Kdnp appear to decrease still, whilst Mi Hazánk holds onto their seats. Tisza continues to grow beyond 130 seats out of 199
Preliminary estimates of election results in Hungary
The official numbers w/h not yet half of the votes counted show only 3 parties in future parliament (Tisza, Fidesz + Kdnp & Mi Hazánk), all on the right of centre & further to the far right in 🇭🇺 #Hungary #elections
So it seems these elections have really mobilized 🇭🇺 electorate. The numbers are much higher than in previous elections w/h urban centers leading.
Citizens in 🇭🇺 are mobilizing to vote in higher numbers than ever before. These elections are momentous to say the least.
Warmest congratulations 🎉! Grattis 🥂!

Idag fick jag äran att vara en av keynotetalarna inför ca. 200 personer samlade på Jämställdhetskonferensen som anordnas av Länsstyrelsen Skåne varje år. Mitt anförande handlade om Antidemokrati som/och antifeminism. Jag tror att det gick bra mitt invandrarfinlandssvenska till trots.

Perhaps something not English could work too? The lyrics may be easily translated into English on the web and there is contextual information to help interpret them further.
This is a lucid analysis of the present context, though I for one disagree with the concept of “toxic masculinity” since it’s focusing individuals rather than the system.
“The suppression of gender studies is not only an attempt to suppress a critical analytical tool, but also knowledge itself.“
📣 This is a timely collection of chapters that each in their own way address pressing issues: epistemic conflict, digital violence, and how we scholars attempt to navigate these.

• Gender & sexuality significant to democratic contestation in 2025
• Competing masculinities: vigilante #populism vs. technocratic restraint
• Inter-imperial dynamics shape sovereignty, legitimacy & masculinity

Yes I know, thus my amazement. But who am I to complain, I just enjoy some 🌞
& to my utter surprise, Göteborg is actually sunny 🌞 ! Did I move to the wrong side of Sweden, or is this just a PR trick to lure people to this beautiful city? (obs cheesy picture taken downtown from the tram)
Winter landscape snapshot taken from train shows more snow than earlier picture.
A little train update. It seems there is more snow up here. Comfortingly, the same compact grey sky.
Winter landscape of southern Sweden pictured from train in motion. Small patches of snow but otherwise grey
Mid-January weather in southern Sweden is a mix of cold, humid & miserable. To escape it I’m heading to Gothenburg for much awaited FUDEM workshop on ”Envisioning (Un)democratic futures”. Not sure abt. better weather but I count on warm & enlightening intellectual conversations
In the Nordics, we're quite worried about what's next, in particular for Greenland. Some of that is directed as a concern for the prime minister of Denmark - however, with Denmark having elections this year, I am also concerned for electoral integrity, Danish democracy and the risks of interference.
And yet it moves! Delighted to be in Bruxelles/ Brussels / Brussel to celebrate 20 yrs of l’atelier genre(s) et sexualité(s) in @ulbruxelles.bsky.social enjoying the generous premises of u.square.brussels
Wow, excellent news! Gefeliciteerd 🎉! Grattis 🥳 !
Delighted to find my very own copy upon my return to Lund of this important scholarly contribution to the study of digital politics, memetic alliances, anti-gender politics & the manosphere, & most importantly transnational feminist resistance by @samakhosraviooryad.bsky.social
Such a pity I missed out this event by such a narrow margin! I hope you had a generative discussion
Interesting research about populist radical right in municipalities across 🇸🇪
View over rooftops in central Paris, with a glimpse of the rooftops of Louvre.
I got to borrow Sandrine’s office with a view towards the rooftops of Louvre. I definitely cannot complain about the view and I will really miss it when I return to Lund at the end of the month

A final push before enjoying le weekend in Paris. No snow in sight but pretty crisp.
Midway in my research stay at @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social I have the privilege to present my ongoing attempt to bring an intersectional perspective to canonic approaches of radical right populism.
A super short visit over the bridge to Roskilde university. It was actually the second time ever to visit the campus. I had a generative discussion abt. right-wing populism, retrogressive conservatism as alternative Europeanization process & how a gendered perspective provides a new research agenda.
