Ahlin calls for respect for the office – Aftonbladet

Stockholm. Several MPs marks the second Vice President Björn Söder (SD) by saying, Mr President of the Sami and Romani.

– The Swedish Parliament we use only one language and it is Swedish, says President Urban Ahlin.

South says he did not personally take for themselves.

– But it is regrettable, one might expect a little more of MPs how to behave, etiquette, he says to echo.

Söders statements in a newspaper interview over the weekend about the Sami and Jews have several days led to markings on him as second deputy speaker of parliament . The other day refused Rossana Dinamarca (V) to say “Mr. President” when she began her speech. When the South pointed out that one should say so Dinamarca responded with: “you are not my President.”

During Wednesday’s debate continued protests. Green Party Jan Lindholm said riihkabeaivvi sardnideaddji – Mr President, in Northern Sami – prompting the South to interpose “Mr President”. In contrast, he said nothing when the Left Party Karin Rågsjö began with the words:

– Shalom, Mr President.

A language

Even Pernilla Stålhammar (MP) and Annika Hirvonen (MP) chose other languages, Stålhammar Romani, when they accused the President. At least one time came Björn Söder with the correct announced making: “Mr President named it”.

Presidents Urban Ahlin stresses that it only uses a language in parliament and it is Swedish.

– When Vice Presidents going on for me, they have a different mission than when they are ordinary members of Parliament and shall bring forth his party’s policies. And I believe that it is important to maintain a kind attitude to the President’s office, he said.

Show respect

There are not regulated somewhere that you should say Mr. or Madam President, but it has been the practice for decades. The background is that the members to debate by the President for it not to occur too harsh confrontations between the two members.

SD’s interim party leader Mattias Karlsson think that marks the South is unfortunate.

– If you have comments against him on behalf of the SD so you should mark against him in that role. In his role as President, there has been some criticism of Björn Söder what I know, says Karlsson said.
