Already in the fall of 2018, three Swedish Democrats in the municipal council jumped over to SPo.

- I go to them because their values ​​are closest to the ones I went to in 2018. Norrköping Municipality is more than just the inner city, says Sandra Karlsson, SPo.

Internal conflicts

She believes that SD in Norrköping has focused on internal conflicts and not politics. That who should end up on a paid post is more important than the policy the party should pursue.

- I have been forbidden by our group leader to speak in the media and to talk to other parties. As for the other three SD members who left last fall, I can't say anything about the reasons.

"Mixed messages"

The party's group leader and chairman in Norrköping, Darko Mamkovic, says he does not have the same picture of the situation.

- After the election, we became more politicians who receive fees. Then we decided that more than group leaders and deputy group leaders would be able to speak up. But double messages sometimes appeared and voters have the right to know where we stand, says Darko Mamkovic (SD).

"Bet on the next election"

He believes that it is positive that the departed members show political commitment.

- Although I think they should leave their seats and put them at SD's disposal, and instead invest in the next election.

Sandra Karlsson wants, among other things, to raise questions about the possibility of being connected to the network in the countryside.
