Just before midsummer, the story was discovered that Kungsör politician Petter Westlund would have sex-chatted with minors, which the site "Dumpen" revealed.
Elisabet Sannesjö tells:
- Petter said that this will swell and become something unpleasant.
He told me it was a role-playing game involving adults.
But it is inappropriate to even consider the idea that the other party would be a minor, says Elisabet Sannesjö.
Resigned
Petter Westlund, who was, among other things, district chairman of the Center Party in Kungsör, renounced all political assignments for "personal reasons", says Elisabet Sannesjö.
The information about sex chats with minors was reported to the police.
- Today I found out that the police investigation has been closed, says Elisabet Sannesjö to SVT on Tuesday.
She further says that Petter Westlund ran for the municipal council in Kungsör and the Riksdag, but that his name has now been removed from all election forms.
- We have had to reprint 640,000 election forms, says Elisabeth Sannesjö.
Lost contact
When SVT reaches Elisabet Sannesjö on Monday evening, she is at a circuit meeting in Kungsör, where a new circuit chairman who succeeds Petter Westlund is to be elected.
According to Elisabet Sannesjö, the party has now broken contact with Petter Westlund.
- It is reprehensible behavior and nothing that is compatible with centrist politics.
It was so damn wrong.
But he has stepped aside and we have handled it well.
I don't think it will hurt us as a party, says Elisabet Sannesjö.
SVT has tried to contact Petter Westlund, but he has not been able to be reached.
