Domestic. “We are not ashamed” and “I have nothing to apologize for” was the message from Jimmie Åkesson after Kalla fakta's revelation about the party's “troll factory”. But now the party is taking action by reassigning two employees in its communications department and forcing them to undergo training in the “Tidö agreement's respect clause”.

The two employees who are affected are said to have spread clips about the other parties in the Tidö collaboration .

They will be reassigned and given other tasks until they have completed the respect course, according to SD party secretary Mattias Bäckström Johansson.

“The training on the respect clause will be documented and handed over to the other Tidö parties. Furthermore, we have shared a list of the posts that concern our partners. All posts on that list will be deleted from our platforms,” ​​writes Bäckström Johansson to TT.

He also states that SD, after talks with M, KD, and L, are now “prepared to make some minor adjustments to soften the tonality going forward” – in other words, to express themselves more kindly about the collaborative parts.

Otherwise it sounded the other day when Jimmie Åkesson gave a “speech to the nation” and dismissed the entire Kalla fakta's so-called disclosure as “pure disinformation”.

– Do you know something? We are not ashamed. It is not us who have destroyed Sweden. It is not us who have turned one of the world's safest and richest countries into the chaos that our children are now forced to grow up in. You are the ones to blame. And no matter how much you try to cover it up with diversionary lying activism, we will not forget what you have done to our country. And we will not stop telling you about the enormous damage you have caused, he said among other things.

In an emotional interview with TV4 the same day, the SD leader stated that he will not give any apology to Ulf Kristersson.

– I have nothing to apologize for, I'm not ashamed. It is you TV4 and the old left-liberal establishment that have destroyed this country. It is you who should be ashamed, not me, said Jimmie Åkesson.

He also said that he “absolutely does not” have any plans to fire the communications manager Joakim Wallerstein and that he has full confidence in both him and the department .

– I have very, very great confidence in them, says Jimmie Åkesson.

The party secretary of the Tidö parties will hold a meeting on Thursday afternoon after the alleged revelation about the troll factory.
