Debater and artist Alexander Bard has reportedly joined the Liberalerna party for the third time, according to Swedish media reports. The announcement came the day after Liberalerna party leader Simona Mohamsson stated that the party would include the Sweden Democrats in a future government.
Bard announced his membership on social media platform X, writing: "Thank you thank you thank you, Simona Mohamsson, for making this possible. Now we will ensure together that the party rallies behind you." This marks Bard's third affiliation with the party, having previously been a member when it was known as Folkpartiet in 2008-2010, and again briefly in 2020.
Thank you thank you thank you, Simona Mohamsson, for making this possible. Now we will ensure together that the party rallies behind you.
According to reports, Bard left the party in 2020 following criticism of a tweet he posted about the Black Lives Matter movement. The debater has a history of involvement with multiple Swedish political parties, including Centerpartiet, Piratpartiet, Folklistan, and Medborgerlig samling, for which he previously ran in parliamentary elections.
