The background to the incident was that Gunnar Axén had chased himself up on Thursday evening by sitting on Twitter and watching films from pro-Palestinian demonstrations during Eurovision in Malmö.
“To the Muslims who live in Sweden: Make clear your support for the liberal democracy you live in or go home,” writes the 56-year-old liberal on X.
The post has provoked strong reactions and other liberals are now demanding that Gunnar Axén stop calling himself a liberal.
“Being liberal is not being naive. Even if the People's Party thinks so,” replies Axén.
Muf's chairman Douglas Thor demands that the party veteran remove his post:
“What the hell are you writing? Delete this tweet.”
To this Gunnar Axén replies:
“Why? Do you have a problem with supporting the Swedish liberal and democratic form of government?”
Gunnar Axén was a regular Member of Parliament for the Moderates in the years 1998–2014. Until 2022, he was chairman of the board of Allra Sverige AB, and today he is, among other things, chairman of the board and responsible publisher for Verifiera.
What the hell are you writing? Delete this tweet.
