On Sunday afternoon keeps the Sweden Democrats’ local branch in the City’s annual meeting in Alviks Civic. William Hahne, vice chairman of the party’s youth league SDU, has challenged incumbent Stockholm Chairman Mary Danielsson. Tweets from the meeting has begun to seep out onto the hashtag # sdsthlm15.
The battle is interpreted by most outsiders as a struggle between two factions within the party: On the one hand, those who want to see a more radical, more nationalist-oriented party. They are based mainly in the SDU.
On the other hand Party leadership, who want to continue this path to make the party more salongsfähigt. Stockholm is important for the Sweden Democrats, and Maria Danielsson perceived as loyal to the party leadership.
Anders Bergman, writer and expert on European right-wing extremism, describing it as a watershed for the party. SDU cultivate contacts with European parties which Belgian Vlaams Belang, Austrian FPÖ and La Destra with roots in the Italian fascism.
– SD faces a crossroads, it is the party’s future is at stake on. These politicians are much more radical than any other force in the party earlier. They release until the forces in the party, they become more European and more like the French National Front and Italian Northern League, says Anders Bergman.
According to Anders Bergman was a choice of Hahnemann in Stockholm to be a clear signal and position marker. That battle in Stockholm comes under party leader Jimmie Åkesson’s sick leave for burnout think he’s not a coincidence.
– I think they take the opportunity now. Åkesson has emerged as a political animal and has been very adept at producing party as non-militant and as representatives of the ordinary Swedes by talking about the problems of the elderly. But the young radical politicians are more unreserved.
It was the end of January as the SDU-wing chose to pick a fight with Stockholm as the scene by William Hahne launched his candidacy.
The party leadership responded to launch an exclusion case against him after allegations that he handled a membership in violation of the rules.
This week announced member of the Committee and Party Secretary Richard Jomshof to further personal matters should be brought against other individuals in Hahne proposal to the Board in Stockholm, because it is suspected that they “represent the opinions that are incompatible with the Sweden Democrats’ core values.”
The processes will not be ready until later in March. Hahnemann says that the party leadership went to the press with it to reduce his chances of winning the Chairman choice today.
“It’s eye-catching which methods to use in order to prevent the internal democratic process. Sorry, this is also just the tip of the iceberg and I and others in recent years has seen and experienced countless other similar events. The difference now is that you are so desperate that they are willing to do this entirely in the public eye, “writes Hahnemann on his Facebook page.
Hahne backed by the SDU President Gustav Kasselstrand. On his Facebook page, he has published a post where some board members of the SD in Stockholm accusing the current Stockholm Chairman Mary Danielsson for top-down control.
Maria Danielsson got in turn take over SD in Stockholm one week before the election last fall, since then Chairman Christopher Dulny resigned after Expressen revealed that he wrote hateful comments on sites like Avpixlat.
In an interview with Svenska Dagbladet, Maria Danielsson said that she believes that Hahnemann want to push the party more to the right-wing and radical way. She also says that Hahnemann has a “problematic” personality.
– I know I represent an SD as William hates. He has a very elitistisk-, young, Arg, man’s personality. We order the same policy but I do not think you should be angry and look down on people, which I perceive that he is doing, she says.
The conflict between Hahnemann and the party leadership has been going on for long. Hahne previously worked at the party secretariat but got along with Gustav Kasselstrand park including after he supported Erik Almqvist during the so-called iron pipe scandal and committed to the recognition of Palestine.
