Ina Lindström Skandevall, group leader for Liberalerna in Sundsvall and a member of the party board, has announced she will leave the party if it proceeds with cooperation plans involving Sverigedemokraterna. According to SVT Mittnytt, Skandevall stated she has lost confidence in the party leadership following the party board's vote to cooperate with SD. "I will end my engagement in Liberalerna if this goes through at the party congress," she said.
The Liberalerna party congress had voted against entering a government with Sverigedemokraterna just five months ago, but the party has since reversed its position. Skandevall, who has been a party member for 25 years, is now reportedly working with other dissatisfied Liberals to build internal opposition and find a strong challenger to party leader Simona Mohamsson ahead of an extraordinary party congress scheduled for next Sunday. " The political crisis could leave Liberalerna in Sundsvall without leadership if Skandevall follows through on her threat to resign.
