When Richard Jomshof defends the importance of ethnic Swedes remaining the majority, Mattias Karlsson launches a fierce counterattack and calls his stance \u201drepugnant\u201d. But Karlsson also accuses Jomshof of holding views he has not explicitly expressed. Shortly thereafter, the entire exchange disappeared from Facebook.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sweden Democrats\u2019 internal conflict over what it means to be Swedish continues to escalate. On Monday, the party leadership found itself <strong>Mattias Karlsson<\/strong> and <strong>Richard Jomshof<\/strong> in a public argument on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/1CH3XdJaUU\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong>. This came after Karlsson once again attacked ethno-nationalism as \u201dimmoral\u201d and defended the party\u2019s principle of \u201dopen Swedishness\u201d (which means that anyone can become \u201dSwedish,\u201d a principle that Karlsson was a driving force behind).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as Karlsson is concerned, language, culture, identity, and loyalty are sufficient for a person to be considered \u201dSwedish.\u201d Jomshof does not disagree with this and shares the view that people can become \u201dculturally Swedish.\u201d However, he also emphasizes the importance of the historically Swedish population\u2019s historical ties to Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jomshof Defends the Swedish Popular Majority<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dI stand by my belief that there is value in Swedes constituting the majority of the population in their own country, now and in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jomshof warned that Swedish traditions and holidays are being eroded in multicultural areas that Swedes are choosing to flee. He also revealed that there are people within the party who smear and accuse ordinary people who share his views of racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot_20261027_050710_X-597x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jomshof&#039;s post and Karlsson&#039;s response.

He also claimed that assimilated immigrants would therefore be regarded as \u201dsecond-class Swedes.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dI maintain that this is an immoral and despicable stance, and it is definitely not cultural nationalism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jomshof, however, had not explicitly advocated that people should be treated differently based on their origin. His stated position was that there is value in ethnic Swedes continuing to constitute the majority of the population. What Karlsson is doing is exactly what the left and the media establishment usually do: accusing those who defend the rights of ethnic Swedes of wanting to oppress others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The entire exchange disappeared<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the controversy, the comment thread disappeared from Facebook, which had seen the screenshots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Jomshof\u2019s future in the SD\u2019s top ranks has been called into question.
