KD took the honor of fundraising - criticized by the church

In the video, Bengt Jönsson (KD), district chairman, and Billy Åkerström (KD), group leader in Karlskrona, thank the residents for their support and for helping the people of Ukraine, wearing shirts with the party's logo

But the collection is politically independent and has not been arranged by the party, says the church, which is now criticizing the video.

- This is completely unacceptable, I was asked if the Church of Sweden stands up for a party to make party politics of the crisis in Ukraine, says Ann-Louise Trulsson, pastor Karlskrona-Aspö pastorate.

Apologies to the church

Bengt Jönsson can understand the criticism, but believes that it was never the intention to make politics of the collection.

- It's easy to be hindsight.

Of course, we apologize to the church, he says.
