Romina Pourmokhtari maintains that the Sweden Democrats pursue racist policies—yet she does not rule out becoming a minister in a government with them. Jimmie Åkesson responds: Read this, and then don’t cast a strategic vote for the Liberal Party.
Three days before the election, the Minister of Climate and the Environment says Romina Pourmokhtari (L) that she feels the same way about the Sweden Democrats as she always has. In her view, the party pursues racist policies.
Jimmie Åkesson responds by pointing specifically to that interview.
– If anyone is wondering why Sweden Democrats shouldn’t cast a tactical vote for the Liberals, they should read this article, he writes on X and Facebook.
He adds that anyone who has already voted early can change their mind on Election Day.
Pourmokhtari: The Sweden Democrats are ”racist nutcases with Nazi roots”
Pourmokhtari became known as one of the Sweden Democrats’ (SD) harshest critics. In 2018, she wrote that the party consists of racist nutcases with Nazi roots. As chair of the LUF, she said that the SD fosters hatred and xenophobia. The following year, she became a minister in a government that relies on the SD’s support.
Now, in the final stretch of the election campaign, she is reiterating that stance.
– I haven't changed my views; I still feel the same way about the Sweden Democrats as I always have, she tells SVD.
She wasn't going to hug Åkesson. Richard Jomshof she doesn't want to see as a minister.
– What does Magdalena Andersson usually say about the Left Party? They have a very long way to go. I think Jomshof has a very long way to go.
At the same time, she is campaigning for the Swedish national team and does not rule out becoming a minister again in a government that includes the Sweden Democrats.
– I’m not a Sweden Democrat; I’m a liberal. We have different opinions on many things, but we can sit down, look at Sweden’s needs, and come to an agreement on them.
L is asking for the SD's votes
That is the divide Åkesson is now exploiting. In practice, the Liberals are asking for SD votes in order to clear the electoral threshold. On the same day, a Liberal Party minister says that the SD are still racists.
Novus has shown that the L Party’s support has suddenly risen above four percent, in part due to voters from the SD. Åkesson’s message is that those votes should not be handed out as charity to a party that hasn’t budged an inch in its view of his voters.
To Swedish nationalists, I say: Don't vote for the SD!
Vote for Alternatives for Sweden!
I'm so disappointed that the most important issues that were promised never materialized.
So, that's the end of that, then.
It was AFS all the way here.
I'm not voting for any of the "8-clover" parties—they're all traitors. It's better to cast your vote for AFS, which puts Swedes first.
I agree with everyone above, and that liberal immigrant slut can go back to the country she comes from.
