In several blog posts, excluded ex-politician Thoralf Alfsson has criticized Bäckström Johansson for his leadership in SD Kalmar county. He claims that he has heard from several sources that Bäckström Johansson frightens members who sympathize with Alfsson or share Alfsson's blog posts on social media to silence.

To prove that this was the case, Thoralf Alfsson posted a screenshot of a comment allegedly written by Bäckström Johansson on Facebook. In the comment he threatens a member with exclusion from SD if he continues to share Thoralf's links.

But this screenshot is fabricated, according to Mattias Bäckström Johansson. That's why he has now charged police officer Thoralf Alfsson for slander, reports P4 Kalmar.

Got a screenshot of the email

Thoralf Alfsson himself says that the screenshot was sent to a person by e-mail. The person is no one he met in person but he saw no reason to check the authenticity of the post before publishing.

- There have been a lot of other tasks where members of SD have told me how it has come to prompts that they should not like my Facebook posts, so I judged that the screenshot and the content of it could very well be in line with what I was told me earlier, he says.

Isn't it important to make sure that what you post on your blog is right?

- It is always easy to be late. Then I'm not sure that Mattias would answer me if I asked him. I have asked him questions before and received no answers.

"Should have contacted me"

Do you understand that he is reporting?

- If it turns out that the screenshot sent to me would be fake, then I understand. But I think at the same time that Mattias should have contacted me and acknowledged that it was him. Then I would have removed it in that case.

Thoralf Alfsson has after the police report chosen to remove the screenshot from his blog.

SVT News Småland is seeking Mattias Bäckström Johansson for a comment.
