Edgélius says that the county association began an investigation into abusive discrimination on 23 November.
On the same day, SN had published an article in which Abshir Osman accused party colleague Anna af Sillén of having "features of xenophobia".
He has also told SVT that he has been treated in an unacceptable way by Anna af Sillén.
Information that she rejected in an SMS on Wednesday:
Welcome inquiry
"As for the accusations that have been made in the media, I reject them in the strongest terms.
An independent investigation is already underway and I welcome that. "
The investigation she refers to was the investigation that the Moderates' County Association in Sörmland launched on 23 November.
Requirements from Eskilstuna Moderates
But on Wednesday, Eskilstuna moderates went out and demanded that an independent investigation into the allegations be started.
And today, Martin Edgélius forwarded the investigation that was started in Sörmland to the national organization.
There, Mikael Larsson (M), deputy head of organization, will hold the investigation.
"The opportunity exists"
Usually, this form of reports is taken care of by the county association, but in this case it is now handled at the national level, states Edgélius.
- I thought it was appropriate in this case.
Why?
- That possibility is in our routines and I thought it was appropriate.
It is unclear when the investigation will be completed.
