"Anders Ygeman" is trending on Twitter.
The reason: A screenshot from the government's website is circulating, containing the text "Application for a permit for aviation in regular traffic on the route Minsk - Stockholm / Arlanda".
"Minister Ygeman is today trying to open a direct flight route for migrants from Belarus to Sweden," writes one user.
Anders Ygeman's press secretary greets SVT Nyheter that this is a "misunderstanding".
She then refers to the minister's Twitter account.

"Why ruin a good story with fact checking?", Tweets Ygeman.
"The EU decided on sanctions against Belarus six months ago.
The sanctions prevent Belarusian flights from operating in the Union's airspace and airports.
However, this does not prevent airlines from applying for such routes.
Such a request from an airline was rejected today by the government ", he continues.
