“Based its mandate on the communist Kurdish Kakabaveh”, reads the quote in the headline of Expressen's article about SD leader Jimmie Åkesson's proposal regarding today's prime ministerial vote in the Riksdag.

Jimmie Åkesson is critical of that a “communist Kurd” – Amineh Kakabaveh – had a decisive vote in the election of Magdalena Andersson as prime minister.

The post has received criticism – some write that Karin Olsson apparently thinks it is worse to be a Kurd than to be a communist. Other users ask why it would be “disgusting” to call a kurd a kurd.

Karin Olsson has nuanced her criticism in a follow-up post.
