Domestic. In a new SVT documentary film, a female V-top can be heard saying “damn cunts” after the Sweden Democrats' coup in the Riksdag. But the party does not want to answer who made the crude comment.

In the documentary “Maktkampen”, SVT follows Jimmie Åkesson (SD) and Nooshi Dadgostar (V) during and after the parliamentary elections.
An episode depicted is when a number of SD candidates saw to the fact that a centrist instead of a left-winger got the post of third deputy speaker in the Riksdag. This was done to take revenge on V trying to prevent SD from getting a speaker post.
Immediately after the speaker fiasco there was an upset mood among the V leaders.
– It's sick. So now it's war. They go through fire and water to save the Center Party. So embarrassing, shoot your own party, says Nooshi Dadgostar in the Riksdag foyer in the SVT documentary.
The documentary then shows how the tone goes later in the evening at the party's Riksdag chancellery.
– A bunch of losers, says communications manager Jenny Lindahl.
Ida Gabrielsson, deputy party leader, says:
– They [the Social Democrats] tried to get a deal, that we would take some replacement position in the Riksbank council which is completely useless to turn down the post of Speaker. They played like it was a deal, but it wasn't. It's just so ridiculous.
Then someone is heard exclaiming:
– What fucking pussies.
As this unfolds, apart from Lindahl and Gabrielsson, only Nooshi Dadgostar is seen in the room.
Press secretary Hanna Löfqvist tells Aftonbladet that the party has no idea who made the comment. “We refrain from commenting”, she writes later.
