Ultima Thule drummer Ulf Hansen has openly taken a stand in support of Richard Jomshof in the battle over the Swedish people\u2019s ethnic identity. He warns that the party is losing sight of its core principles and issues an ultimatum: If Jomshof is forced out, he, too, will leave the SD.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultima Thule's drummer <strong>Ulf Hansen<\/strong> has had enough of the ongoing factional strife within the Sweden Democrats. In a sharply worded <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/story.php?story_fbid=10165032161988607&amp;id=698813606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook post<\/a><\/strong> The long-time SD member defends the ethnic identity of the Swedish people and expresses his support for <strong>Richard Jomshof<\/strong> and the Riks profile <strong>Richard S\u00f6rman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The post is being published in the midst of the conflict over the party\u2019s view of Swedishness and has this telling opening: <em>\u201dI WASN\u2019T GOING TO GET INVOLVED\u2014BUT NOW ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Defends the ethnic identity of Swedes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hansen highlights the difference between citizenship and ethnic identity. Swedish identity encompasses a shared historical origin, language, culture, and heritage that have evolved over generations. He questions why the ethnic identities of other ethnic groups are recognized, while the same line of reasoning applied to Swedes meets with resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dI support Jomshof and S\u00f6rman\u2019s views and values regarding the ethnic identity of the Swedish people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hansen emphasizes that safeguarding the history and future of one\u2019s own people does not imply contempt for others or that their rights should be called into question. He also sharply criticizes the abandonment of fundamental principles in order to avoid politically uncomfortable issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Warns of a party that is falling silent<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement comes after <strong>Jimmie \u00c5kesson<\/strong> In a statement on Friday, he distanced himself from the ethnic aspect of Swedishness and attacked the nationalists who disagree. Hansen\u2019s remarks thus highlight a growing conflict between the party leadership\u2019s demands for loyalty and the members\u2019 ability to engage in debate at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dA party that no longer dares to discuss its own fundamental ideas risks eventually losing sight of itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drawing the line\u2014will leave if Jomshof is ousted<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hansen says he has been with the party since the Sweden Democrats\u2019 founding and has remained loyal through decades of setbacks and successes. But loyalty has its limits, and now an announcement has been made that could have implications for the ongoing internal struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dIf Richard Jomshof is forced out because of his views on this issue, then I, too, will leave the party.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hansen emphasizes that this is not an empty threat. His closing remarks are just as clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201dMy principles aren\u2019t for sale.
