Regeringens beslut är inte det enda positiva beskedet som Raoul Wallenberg-institutet fått nyligen. USA har också ändrat sig och gett grönt ljus för ett av de internationella projekt som tidigare stoppats. www.sydsvenskan.se/2025-04-09/h...

Det nedläggningshotade biblioteket på Raoul-Wallenberginstitutet får tio miljoner kronor av regeringen – Regeringen kommer med en välbehövlig lättnad i en akut situation och det värdesätter vi högt, säger Peter Lundberg till Magasin K. magasink.se/2025/04/bibl...

Fantastiska nyheter. Regeringen går in och räddar vårt bibliotek åtminstone tillfälligt, nu fortsätter arbetet att säkra långsiktig finansiering från regeringen. Men mycket värdefullt beslut av Johan Pehrson idag. www.dn.se/sverige/unik...
