Åkesson on Miss Snusk song: No strategy behind it

Jimmie Åkesson (SD) began his election tour in an unusual way, dancing and lip-syncing to his and artist Fröken Snusk's new song. "You don't need to read strategy into everything," Jimmie Åkesson says about the song release with the artist.

Miss Snusk came onstage in Gothenburg with flowers in her hand, on the first day of the election tour. She sang "as long as my heart beats, we are yellow and blue" from the lyrics to the song that will be officially released on Friday.

After it became known that Fröken Snusk would perform with the SD leader, she was dropped from a festival in Växjö. The festival said that it was breaking the law because the booking violated the principle of political independence. The artist was then booked at another venue in the same city.

Ms. Snusk says that she would have agreed to collaborate with other parties as well, but thinks it is good that the SD collaboration creates debate.
