ExhortationHuo in the election next year, the conservative of Sweden’s government is eager to avoid accusations of racism or Xenophobia. So bad it keeps struck by scandals involving both.
The Sweden Investigative Magazine Magazine Expo has revealed earlier this month as a minister of the Governing KINGING, without its name, If there is a close family member active in violent distant distance and neo-nazi groups. The family member has, Expo admitsparticipated in activities with a distant network classified as a US terrorist group.
Within almost two weeks the minister’s name surrounded social media, but all the major news in Sweden refused to proclaim the identity of a minor in life in public eye.
This week the minister of migration, Johan Johan was not immediately called a hearing in Rikamento, to answer the questions about the scandal – and his teenager. Eventually he showed For an interview In the National News News News in Sweden, TV4, where he said he was “shocked and frightened” to discover.
Revelation that the scandal involved in Forssell is more remarkable, because he built a reputation of claims to be parental responsibility is the only real way to avoid crime. He also suggests parents needed maintained legal accountability for the offenses of their children.
While Forssell’s son was not stuck in any crime, he said to have attended Man’s meetings with at least two Neo-Nazi groups. In a picture published in the magazine, he appears to make a bowing in Nazi. In an internal chat, The son wrote: “We must obtain the imported violence” and “it’s time for Europeans to fight!”, According to the Expo.
Awkwardly for Forssell, an MP for moderate party led by the Prime Minister, Ulf Krissson, generally he suggests for the greatest radio transfer In Sweden criminal justice in decades, including the greater penalty for minors.
And in social media posts, Forssell admits that the left opposition is in refusing to about the role of “parental responsibility as a means for preventing crime”. The best way to avoid criminality, he forces, is “attention parents who give their children love and set up clear boundaries”. Now the Minister would like us to accept that he was ignorant that his own child was reported online active in Neo-Nazi groups, Let a violent extremist group with international relationships.
Despite potential risks for national security in Sweden, Party in Forssell together with colleagues Subs. The scandal is disabled. The Ministry of Justice, Gunnar Strömmer, simply ignoring a question about it, which he said There is no opinion on the issue. A leading stockholm conservate in moderate party, Iréne Svenonius, claims that the true scandal is that the news announced in the media; This is a “freshly low”he said. Another former MUsal MP brings light to the story, saying, false, it’s a teenager “Post some memes“.
Ebba Busch, the Deputy Prime Minister, said it was a “Loud sign” for forssell To “voluntarily make this public information”. But this is the opposite of the real happening: Forssell and his party partners tried to hide the story, hoping to remain unknown.
A local newspaper, Västerbottens-Kuriren, Published Ferssell’s name in an editorialBut the officials of the modest party called not only the publisher but also the individual writer complained. Such clear intervention is more controversial in a country where the government must respect the freedom of the press.
Despite Forssells’s upper public records to blame parents for the sins of their children, he does not conduct direct responsibility if you finally communicate with TV interview. However, as if he wanted to blame parents of the interested platforms, asking: “What did social media do our children?” While his own social media accounts do not count negative posts Regarding migrants, the minister rejects himself as a passive victim of circumstances. “Sometimes, things are wrong“He went with.
Forssell says he has no intention to resign. But the time of this scandal is bad to say the least for conservatives in Sweden, whose ordering coalition is sponsored by distance Sweden Democrats.
For many years, as they pursued violent immigration policies and strong rhetoric sounds, Xenophobic statements spread nationalist politicians in part of political support. But meeting parties now fall back to the back of national polls. As a bloc to vote them About 10 points behind The center left opposition and lost most of their support to young voters.
Presiding parties and their allies seem to realize that the accusations in Xenophobia can be an election responsibility. In June, the Anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, with neo-nazism roots, released an internal report about their past, and party leaders apologize to Swedish Jews. This is a transparent effort to express more tolerant, mainstream image before the election, if they hope to be a formal part of the government. Jimmie åkesson, the party leader, saying that he just told a presiding coalition if he could be a prime minister.
His attempt to clean the party image is already in trouble, however. When Mahmoud Khalfi, the Seat of the Islamic Association, suggests Sweden Democrats also need to apologize to the Democrats in Sweden in Khalfif, which is called “Delefufent Iedooly“. Khalfi should” throw from Sweden, head first “, says Jomshof.
A government claims to have a concern of crime, safety and national security seriously while ignoring remote extremism will struggle with credibility. Sweden has a long tradition of refusing to deal with its racism – past and now. But racism can still decide on the next election.
