Domestic. “The upper class has never tolerated being questioned, especially not by the labor movement.” This is how Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson (S) now writes about people who criticize him.

Fria Tider reported earlier this week that Morgan Johansson has been criticized for an attack on the bourgeois opinion leader Ivar Arpi.

That was when Arpi on Twitter accused Johansson of failures regarding the crime that the Social Democrat Minister of Justice blamed.

“What have you done in politics yourself, apart from trying to downplay one of the worst attacks on a democratic parliament in modern times?” wrote Morgan Johansson in response to Ivar Arpi.

In an editorial in Svenska Dagbladet, Arpi's former workplace, Paulina Neuding now also criticizes the S – minister's proposal. She wonders how the reaction would have been if it was instead a moderate minister who wrote like that to a journalist.

“But what would make warning lights shine on all newsrooms if it came from the right, must pass when it comes from a Social Democratic minister. There is, in short, a distortion to keep an eye on “, writes Paulina Neuding.

On Twitter, Morgan Johansson responds to the article by defending his right to” give answers to speeches ” .

“When a right-wing debater attacks me or the rest of the government, makes false statements, distorted arguments, racist attacks, etc., I will give answers to speeches whenever I have the desire, time and opportunity,” he writes.

“I think there is a class aspect here. The upper class has never tolerated being questioned, especially not by the labor movement. And when they get a setback and do not manage the factual debate – then they respond with personal attacks. They have done so many times before, and so does SvD now. “

Ivar Arpi responds to the post by stating that it is the first time someone calls him upper class.
