MP demands explanation from Thorwaldsson – Expressen

LO members never liked ecologists, said LO top Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson Sunday.

Now the Green Party for an explanation.

– he must explain further what he meant and what is in it. I note that we have many ecologists who are union engaged in different LO unions, says Anders Wallner, MP, party secretary.

It was at a news conference before his May Day speech in Landskrona LO top Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson commented Green Party.

– the LO members do not like the ecologists, it has LO members never done. It is no news that union members do not see the Green Party as its most attractive party. We have completely different traditions. LO members are from the industrial, healthcare and transport, and many have often felt that the Green Party threatens their jobs, he said.

As late as December 2014 demanded Thorwaldsson that S would go to elections without MP – before a possible early elections.

Now answer the Green party, party secretary Anders Wallner.

– It depends on the LO members talking about. We have a lot of ecologists who are active in LO. That is something that changes over time. But of course we want to work on getting a higher confidence in the group of LO members.

Can there be something in the Thorwaldsson say?

– he must explain further what he meant and what is in it. I note that we have many ecologists who are union engaged in different LO unions. It’s something we can do to show that there are many different kinds of ecologists.

According to Wallner needs the Green Party visualize the LO active representatives more.

– It started a trade union network is second a few years ago and I think they could have a more prominent place in the party.

Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson said that the crisis in the Green Party is a burden for the government. Wallner emphasizes, however, that the MP’s and LO’s lines have a good relationship.

– It’s been a few weeks where negative headlines about the Green Party has received obstruct the positive work that the MP and S jointly implementing. We are the first to complain and take on responsibility. We are now on to our Congress will be a good start so that we can return to talking about the political issues that we impact, says Anders Wallner.

At twelve o’clock in the night time runs out for the Green Party’s district to nominate names to voice entries after Åsa Romson and Gustav Fridolin gone out and set their resignation if they do not get renewed confidence.

– There is a deadline for our departments to nominate names to the committee. Then they can start putting the puzzle and start to consider its proposal thoroughly, says Wallner.

The Nomination Committee’s proposals on the mouthpiece will come in good time before Congress May 13 to 15
