"Sweden, European Union" edited to "Sweden", given the manipulative attempt at politicising this article. Note: Sweden is still a sovereign country, and does not go by "Sweden, European Union", much as the USA does not go by "U.S.A, Mexicanada". To imply that the U.S.A belongs to Mexico or Canada is incendiary without any basis. All attempts at causing such offence should be addressed, as in name at least, neither Sweden nor any other country has yet been designated as a mere province of Belgium |
