The posts are being spread by private individuals, not official party accounts.

This includes a post with the Left Party logo and the message “Vote for V or go to the airport.” In another, a man urges people to vote for the Social Democrats’ party leader Magdalena Andersson because “anyone who doesn’t vote for her will be deported.”

According to Left Party Deputy Leader Ida Gabrielsson, the party is doing everything it can to stop the spread.

It is a huge problem that AI-generated images can be spread as if they were our message, she tells P3 Nyheter.

We always try to do something about it when we discover it.
