Lars Olin is a member of the municipal council for the Moderates in Vellinge municipality and is chairman of the election committee.

- I was tagged in this photo and removed it when I was noticed that I was tagged in a photo. Absolutely, he says ..

Were you tagged or posted the photo yourself?

- I haven't posted the picture myself.

You haven't posted it yourself?

- No no.

Who tagged you in the photo?

- I'm not telling you.

Criticism from the municipal council

Carina Wutzler is a party mate with Lars Olin and the chairman of the municipal council in Vellinge. She saw the picture on Lars Olin's Facebook page.

- This morning I got noticed in the picture and went to Lars Olin's Facebook page and saw that the picture was there.

Lars Olin himself claims that he did not post the picture without being tagged?

- I don't know, but the picture was on his side. I contacted Lars Olin where I explained that it was inappropriate and asked him to remove the picture which he did. As a trusted politician, it is important to be careful about what you post on social media and we will discuss this at our next group meeting, says Carina Wutzler.

"That's not true"

Magdalena Nour is the center's group leader in Vellinge and she saw the picture early this morning:

- The picture was on Lars Olin's Facebook page and it is he who posted it if no one else has access to his account.

He says he was tagged and that he didn't post the picture himself?

- (Laughter) It's not true that he was tagged. The picture and the comment "Good morning Höllviken" was on his Facebook page and it is clearly visible on the post. I'm 100% sure it was on his Facebook page. And this is particularly serious because Lars Olin is chairman of the Vellinge Election Committee and then you have to maintain a much higher standard, says Magdalena Nour.

Lars Olin regrets

When Lars Olin hears that both Carina Wutzler and Magdalena Nour saw the picture on his Facebook page and that he was not tagged in the picture, he explains the picture like this:

- I got the picture via Messenger and pressed the like button and then it somehow ended up with automatic on my Facebook page.

Why did you press the Like button? Do you like the picture?

- You do this automatically when a friend sends pictures, but I regret it. Absolutely. I regret this. I totally reverse and hit a dumbbell. It was stupidly done. Sometimes you do stupid things, says Lars Olin.
