Details of the power struggle
During the last week there have been reports about power struggle within the Sweden Democrats.
Björn Söder, who has been the party secretary since 2005 and in September was elected Second Deputy President, has long announced that he wanted to leave the party secretary post.
In a text to Party newspaper SD courier, stating, however, recently he because of the situation with Jimmie Åkesson’s sick wanted to postpone the party secretary prey. Mattias Karlsson, however, wanted to downplay the data on internal disputes.
Björn Söder says today to Aftonbladet:
– This was a good compromise, but I had any time left in the day. I had put up a timetable where I saw that the best of the lot was to make a good handover, get officials in place, and that I would leave at the end of March or beginning of April. However, when not met with sympathy I might as well have left today.
South: “were other wills”
– When I came here this morning, I felt first that it would be nice to go from here and put his teeth in politics in the morning, but there was a request from the district group that there would be a one-month handover. Since I worked with them for many years it felt right.
South emphasizes that the change skyndats on against his will.
– There were other wills that this would happen quickly. I have tried to flag the problems I can see arises if there is too fast. There are things we have not solved yet, but is about to solve. I can not do more than flag for them, so I feel I have been back free.
Jimmie Åkesson’s sick leave expires on Saturday. At a press conference this afternoon stated Jomshof the notice of Akesson is expected in the coming days.
Jomshof says that the big change is that in his new role will have more time to focus more on communication, both externally and internally, in order to relieve the party leader.
– There will be a new role for the party secretary, something that Jimmie Åkesson wanted, he said.
He believes that the party has control of the handover, despite that the South wanted to stay longer at his post.
– We felt that we could not wait any longer, this must be the place.
