Busch: I wouldn't have gone if I had known

Ebba Busch (Christian Democrats) did not know that a person at Jimmie Åkesson's wedding had ties to a criminal motorcycle gang, she tells journalists. I did not know that and had I known, I would not have been there either, she says.

Ebba Busch also refers to Åkesson's statements that he was not aware of the connection.

These questions need to be asked to the bride and groom. Åkesson himself has also said that he was not aware of this and if he had, that person would not have been welcome, she says.

In late September, the leader of the Sweden Democrats, Jimmie Åkesson, got married. Over 500 guests were invited, including a person with connections to the criminal motorcycle gang environment.

Despite the information being available within the party, the SD leader has stated that he was not aware of the connection.

Criticism from the opposition has not been slow to emerge. Magdalena Andersson (The Social Democrats) states that she takes seriously the reports of "gang leaders at Åkesson's wedding party".

I expect the Prime Minister to demand that Jimmie Åkesson tells the whole truth, she says during a press conference.
