Hamid Zafar: "I was like in a bubble"

For a number of years, Hamid Zafar under another name has written derogatory and homophobic comments on social media, something that DN.se revealed on Thursday.

- These are terrible opinions and I distance myself from them, he says to SVT.

I hope that my employer, Mullsjö municipality, continues to trust me.

- I have moved in circles and contexts where there was a prepared and simplified explanation of events in society.

I was like in a bubble, today I do not have these opinions, he says to SVT.

The mayor of Mullsjö municipality will now, together with the political leadership, evaluate what has happened and take a position on Zafar's future.
