It was on Thursday that Alexander Paulsson (S) met Robin Lennartsson (SD) to talk about politics over a beer.
– Our idea was to put us together and, despite different opinions, being able to talk about things that unite such as the politically non-profit commitment, the belief in Sweden and it was quite nice because we did not have the battle ax with us, Alexander Paulsson (S) told SVT Nyheter Värmland afterwards.
However, the incident created a storm within S.
– This is extremely inappropriate. It is not good for the party's credibility in terms of cooperating with parties with xenophobic grounds, said the Social Democrats' district chairman Åsa Johansson (S).
Now SSU Värmland, which Alexander Paulsson was previously chairman of, announces that they is no longer behind the nomination of Paulsson to the youth union's federal board.
“We have discussed whether SSU Värmland board still has confidence in Alexander Paulsson and landed in that we are no longer behind the nomination”, writes SSU Värmland.
“In less than a day, I have been called a racist and hung out in a way that must never be acceptable in a democracy. perhaps puts his finger on the problem that is a fact and that Robin and I tried to shed light on through our meeting “, he writes there.
