The Liberal Party in Blekinge has narrowly voted to support party leader Simona Mohamsson and her controversial decision to drop the party's 'red line' against the Sweden Democrats. In a digital meeting on Tuesday evening attended by about 20 members, the local party organization voted 13-10 to back Mohamsson's new stance, which opens the possibility of giving the Sweden Democrats ministerial posts in a future government. The decision has created deep divisions within the party, with several veteran members now considering leaving their positions.
District chairman Jesper Rehn confirmed he is evaluating his future in the party, stating he will decide how to handle his engagement after this weekend's national party meeting. The vote comes ahead of the Liberal Party's national meeting on Sunday, where Mohamsson's leadership and the policy shift will be debated.
I will decide how to handle my engagement after this weekend's national party meeting.
