Villa Nyamko Sabuni go to the polls with a bourgeois government. In practice, this means that the party may need the support of the Swedish Democrats.
The issue, which has drawn criticism from its own ranks, will be decided at an additional party council convened next week.
According to former party leader Bengt Westerberg, the party will lose a large number of members if the proposal is approved. Westerberg himself is also considering leaving.
– I’ll think about it. I’ll take a stand on it if it becomes a reality, he says. Aftonbladet.
“Xenophobia as a guiding light”
Westerberg draws some parallels to what happened in the 1991 elections, when New Democracy entered the Riksdag. He then showed his discontent by leaving a television studio in the middle of election week.
– But the Sweden Democrats are a much more advanced party. Therefore, they are a greater threat than New Democracy was. What unites them is that they have xenophobia as the guiding light in everything they do, Westerberg tells Aftonbladet.
Leissner: would feel homeless
Maria Leissner assumed the leadership position of the party after Bengt Westerberg. He is also harshly critical of Nyamko Sabuni’s new leadership.
– I would feel homeless if the Liberals chose to have some form of government collaboration with the Swedish Democrats. Either to liberate a government that contains them, or to liberate a government that depends on them, or to sit in a government that depends on them, he tells Aftonbladet.
However, Leissner does not seem to have plans to leave the party.
– They can shoot me.
