Daniel Berntsson, founder of Mullvad, gave a personal donation of 5 million SEK (roughly 450,000€) in 2025 to Örebropartiet. This enormous donation accounted for 72% of the party’s revenue in 2025.
How does this affect Mullvad’s legitimacy as a company advocating for a free and open internet, while also funding a political party whose agenda seem to contradict these values? The official party website (in Swedish) can be found via the link below.

Maybe the goal is a bit ambitious yes. But at least it’s promising that the Commission has recognized some very real issues with train travel in Europe and announced they are drafting a plan to fix them.
Going across several countries by train and then experiencing a delay that disrupts your entire schedule is a miserable experience. You’re left having to contact several rail operators’ customer support channels (some of which barely offer service in a language you understand), just to maybe try and patch up your trip.
I hope that, at the very least, they manage to implement some sort of one-ticket solution with a decent safety net.
