"I do not usually take a lance for former moderate prime ministers, but this feels rather harsh and unjustified, aimed at a party mate who devotes his life to a commitment to Sweden and politics," Social Security Minister Annika Strandhäll writes on Twitter.

Former Party Secretary Kent Pettersson writes on Twitter that he is proud to belong to the same party as Carl Bild.

“Carl has worked his entire life for the ideas of freedom, nationally and internationally. Few politicians can show the same unity and results over time. That commitment is worth all the respect, ”he writes.

Crisis meeting on Bali's future

It was on Tuesday that Hanif Bali tweeted that Carl Bild is "a man who has not been right about a single foreign policy event ever". The statement quickly received criticism from Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson, who called the act "totally unacceptable".

The Moderate Party leadership held a crisis meeting on Hanif Bali's future in the party.

Justice and Migration Minister Morgan Johansson thinks the party should have acted sooner.

“For years, Hanif Bali has mocked political opponents, refugees and the poor. Ulf Kristersson (M) has not done anything. It is only when Bali gets on Carl Bildt that the moderate leader feels compelled to act, ”he writes on Twitter.

"Have no comments"

SVT News has been in contact with Hanif Bali, who does not want to comment on the situation.

- I'm not giving any interviews at the moment, he says.
