Bengt Westerberg, former leader of the People’s Party (now the Liberals), is open that he may leave the party if party leader Nyamko Sabuni’s political line wins at the party council next weekend.
– If you chose this path, it would be a different party than the one I agreed to, he says in an interview in Expressen.
There are many indications that the election of Nyamko Sabuni and the party leadership to open up to a bourgeois government that needs the support of the SD will win over the party council that will decide the issue next weekend.
Now Bengt Westerberg warns that it can have dire consequences.
-I think it is a great risk that many will leave the game if you go along this line, he tells the newspaper.
When asked if he is leaving the party later, he replies:
– I can’t answer that yet.
Westerberg is also critical of moderate leader Ulf Kristersson, who he believes has gradually grown closer to SD.
– I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if you invite them (SD) to join the government in a few more months, Westerberg tells Expressen.
When asked if he can tell if he has confidence in Nyamko Sabuni, he replies:
– Not like you ask the question. I don’t want to comment on that.
Bengt Westerberg was leader of the Popular Party between 1983 and 1995 and Minister of Social Affairs in the bourgeois government from 1991 to 1994.
