The song “L'Amour Toujours” from 1999 was picked up in Germany during the spring, where it was sung with new lyrics such as “Ausländer raus” and “Deutschland den deutschen”.
“Ausländer raus” is in turn a travesty of the Nazi board game “Juden Raus”, a kind of Nazi prank with a push, which was launched in the 1930s.
For some reason, the song was played at SD's vigil yesterday, in front of the nose of Expressen's reporter who asked Richard Jomshof if the song choice was really appropriate.
– Is it the German song? I have a hard time relating to it, it's not my music. I don't listen to that kind of music, says the old synthesizer Jomshof to the reporter.
However, the interview is interrupted by a greatly over-refreshed politician who dances forward and disturbs. It is the Riksdag member David Lång (SD) who is now singing the song with German lyrics:
– Ausländer raus! Foreigners generous! roars Lång in front of the Bonnier newspaper's emissary.
When he sees Expressen's reporter, however, the singing performance is interrupted.
– Oh shit, are you recording this? says Lång and then tries to take the microphone from Expressen's reporter, while Jomshof claims that “he's joking”.
According to Aftonbladet, David Lång is said to have been unwilling to answer questions during the evening, but to have fled through the basement of the residence when the newspaper sought him out at his home.
Martin Kinnunen, who sits on the party board, is of all things that judge concerned about the incident.
– I can state that it indicates bad judgment there in the evening, but it is something that the party's group leadership in the Riksdag can have a conversation about with the member and find out what happened and what the background where, says Martin Kinnunen to Aftonbladet.
Linda Lindberg, group leader for the SD in the Riksdag, says that “it is quite obvious that he was greatly over-refreshed tonight” and that she will talk to David Lång on Monday .
Even other politicians have commented on the incident.
– An extremely inappropriate behavior, says Tomas Tobé, the moderates' first name to the EU Parliament.
– All hopes of that SD should be normalized has come to shame, says Magdalena Andersson (S), to Expressen.
