Carl Bildt, former Swedish prime minister and foreign minister, began posting regular blogs about his trips and impressions in 2005. The press frequently cited his commentaries on developments in global politics and his tweets on Twitter. Since giving up political office, Bildt is not as close to the goings-on in politics and current affairs as he used to be, but his commentaries are nonetheless highly politicised. They are published sometimes in English, but mostly in Swedish.
