The decision must have been taken by the Swedish Democrats centrally earlier this week according to the newspapers UNT and Expressen. According to Expressen, the suspension is pending pending a personal matter - which could lead to a possible exclusion - being processed. In the end, the party board makes a decision on the matter. The next meeting is scheduled for the end of January, writes the evening newspaper.
Simon Alm is a member of the Uppsala City Council, is a regional council in the Uppsala region and chair of the party locally in the county.
The party does not want to state the reason for the suspension. David Perez, Vice President of SD in Uppsala County, writes to the newspapers:
“It is true that the party opened a personal case against Simon Alm. [...] Considering the content of the personal case, this is to be regarded as an internal matter. "
SVT Uppsala has applied for Simon Alm - without success - and has sought the party central which asked to return.
