The letter, which must be signed by all moderates in the regional group plus senior district representatives, states that she has shown repeated difficulties in cooperating with officials and politicians - and therefore the party demands that Emma Stjernlöf leave her post on the committee.
- When I received this demand, I was very sad, appalled and surprised.
It came like a bolt from the blue, says Emma Stjernlöf (M).
Do you recognize yourself in the description you have received?
- Really not, absolutely not.
It is not the image I have or get of those I collaborate with and around.
I feel a great deal of support from many employees and voters.
"Do not intend to act anymore"
The moderates, together with KD, L and C, have ruled Region Blekinge since the 2018 election - with a narrow majority.
What the total political rift in the party will now mean is unclear.
- I do not intend to act anymore, but we handle this internally and I do not intend to resign.
We have a dialogue with our union president and handle it internally.
Will you be able to stay in the Moderates after this?
- I do not intend to answer that right now.
I reckon that.
But I do not intend to resign.
