– If you act like this towards their own members, how should we act toward people if you end up in the leading position in society? It’s pretty scary actually says SDU man Adam Berg, who is one of those at risk of exclusion.
The Sweden Democrats member committee directs a hard blow directly against the opposition in the party.
Express can now reveal that in addition SDU leaders Gustav Kasselstrand and William Hahne, several of their strongest supporters being kicked out of the party.
– If you acting like this towards their own members, how should we act toward people if you end up in the leading position in society? It’s pretty scary actually says SDU man Adam Berg, who is one of those at risk of exclusion.
The Sweden Democrats member committee met on Monday and yesterday told the party’s group leader in parliament Mattias Karlsson to the Committee recommends expulsion of eight members of the party board meeting on Monday next week. Two of these are SDU leaders Gustav Kasselstrand and William Hahne.
Karlsson would not tell me who the other six are but Express can now reveal that among them there are several people who actively and openly supported the SDU leaders.
“A clean witch trials”
Adam Berg, alternate member of the SDU’s board and second vice president of the SDU Stockholm, is one of them.
– It is a clean witch trial. You find out what you like about people you do not want to leave and so excludes them, says Adam Berg says he asked for evidence against him but did not receive it.
Mountains was one of those who gave support to William Hahne’s candidacy for president of the SD City of Stockholm – which angered the party leadership and she launched exclusion cases within the party:
– During the annual meeting, which was in the city of Stockholm so I was quite prominent. I had a very strong criticism of the Election Committee acted and I was up and made clear to all who were at the meeting, says Berg continues:
– The knoweth that I am not a person who keeps quiet. When I notice that things are wrong then I will call attention to it. They do not want criticism, but they want people who jump when they say “jump” and saying “yes” when they ask them to say “yes.”
“People are very afraid”
Adam Berg believes that the culture of silence in the party will spread even more:
– People are very afraid. There is no one who dares to say anything. Criticize openly, then smokes it, he said.
Are you going to remain in the SDU even if you get expelled?
– Absolutely. I’m not going to give me just because you treat me anyway.
Another person who supported the SDU are Anton Rises Land, alternate member of the SD Stockholm. He faces, after recommendation from a member on the Committee, also exclusion together with Christian Westling, according to Expressen information.
Rises Mark writes that it “remains to be seen whether MU (member of the Committee) has recommended that I omitted because the information has not been made available to the public. ” But he is highly critical of the SD management’s handling of Hahnemann and Kassel Beach.
– In my opinion there is that exclusion is a full unreasonable treatment of chairman and vice-chairman of a youth in a large and well-represented parliamentary party. In particular, when the part of management has been unable to present substantial evidence as a basis for action. The circumstances are further aggravated by the process is punctuated by strange, ill-conceived initiatives from both Mattias Karlsson and MU’s chairman Magnus Olsson writes visibly rising in an email to Expressen.
In the personal case against Westling are in addition to his criticism of the party managing just personal matters also claims that he has shown sympathy for the so-called identitarian movement. But member committee also discusses his time as an employee within the party and his involvement in the so-called iron pipe scandal Expressen revealed in autumn 2012 .
Westling is not surprised that a member Committee recommends expulsion of him
– It was not really expected but it is a confirmation of the bizarre in this whole story, he says, adding that personal case against him is very iffy.
“People in Party becoming increasingly worried “
Westling says the reason that the party is acting against him now is his support to Kassel Beach and Hahne:
– The common denominator for all these people that you sent cases to is that they supported Gustav and William, he says, adding that the expulsions is a confirmation of a trend within the party:
– You have seen the development that it is less and less about politics and more about power. People in the party are becoming increasingly worried and do not dare to say what they think.
William Hahne mean that it is not a coincidence that many of those at risk of exclusion on the board of the SD City of Stockholm.
– All persons who have personal case against’ve had direct links to either me or Gustav Kasselstrand.
What does it mean for SD City of Stockholm if you would be expelled along with Berg and visibly rising?
– The whole process has been totally devastating for the Sweden Democrats in Stockholm.
You are forced to leave the presidency in Stockholm if you become excluded?
– Yes, you will, says Hahnemann who said that he will not resign as vice chairman of the SDU.
In addition to Kassel Beach, Hahne, Mountain, Rising Land and Westling, then three other SD members to be excluded pursuant member committee’s recommendations. These are people who, among other things, had links to the National Democrats, Nordic youth or expressed inappropriately online.
Magnus Olsson, Chairman of SD’s member committee, would not comment on the data:
” I have no comment at this time. Our process is internal. After 27 April and a decision from the party, I can comment on, “he writes in a text message to Expressen.
Expressen have searched Mattias Karlsson.
