In a post on social media, Ida Karkiainen talks about the conversation with Magdalena Andersson.
She writes:
"She then expressed that she expects me to take a clear stand against racist symbols.
She also expressed that the image was unfortunate because it could be perceived as a Hitler greeting, but she was confident in my clear anti-racist values and expressed her full confidence in me. "
And so on:
"I have assured her that I completely dissociate myself from all forms of racist symbols and white power expressions.
There should be no doubt about it.
All values where people are discriminated against are totally unacceptable. ”
"Our apartment was not a white-power environment"
She also writes that she moved in with her partner in central Haparanda when she was 15 years old.
“We moved together early.
Our apartment was not a white-power environment.
Here hung punkers, raggers, hard rockers, doomsayers, talented girls and messy guys.
It was a party sometimes.
Music was played by many who wanted to control the song list.
Music that I do not stand for.
What others played I can not take responsibility for.
I used to turn it off if I noticed that there was white power music, but I probably did not do it all the time. "
"Wet events"
She also talks about the tours with her partner's hard rock band Raubtier that she accompanied on.
"Of course it has been wet events, it is not uncommon for hard rock bands to have dreams of rock'n'roll life.
But even though I have been to parties in those contexts, I have mostly kept order in others.
I think those who participated can testify to that. "
