Busch Criticizes Stegrud's Actions as Incompatible with Swedish Values

The Christian Democrats' leader Ebba Busch believes that Jessica Stegrud (SD) has acted "awfully" after the latest weeks' turbulence. For me, the behavior is not compatible with Swedish values, says Busch about the filmed confrontation to Expressen.

SD top Jessica Stegrud has been heavily criticized in recent weeks. First for a post on X about a debate between Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand (M) and Lawen Redar (S), Socialdemokraternas cultural policy spokesperson.

I think the behavior is terrible. It's terrible to leave a comment that can be misinterpreted or that can be misinterpreted and then not go out and explain what you mean quickly thereafter, says Busch.

Stegrud has also been criticized for filming two teenagers who are confronted at Stockholm Central Station. Busch means that it is "terrible" to act in a way where teenagers and their families and relatives have been exposed.

KD leader says to Expressen that the government parties have expressed their criticism to SD at several different levels.

Jessica Stegrud wrote last week on X that it was "telling" that "a Swedish-born Kurd and a Persian" debated the cultural canon in SVT's Aktuellt and referred to Socialdemokraternas cultural policy spokesperson Lawen Redar and Minister of Culture Parisa Liljestrand (M).

Magazine Expo revealed this week that Jessica Stegrud held the camera when a man, who moves in right-wing extremist circles, follows and confronts two people at Stockholm Central Station. The man then spread the film to expose them on the net.
