I think everyone understands that I don't personally sit and create misleading images, but I am responsible for what is published on my social media channels, she says in the program Nyhetsdagen.

New Year's Day saw the introduction of the new and debated law on anonymous witnesses. In connection with this, the leader of the Christian Democrats spread false information about the new law on social media.

The post, which was later removed, was met with harsh criticism from several quarters and a parliamentary complaint from the Social Democrats. Lawyer Peter Hellman described it as "strikingly ignorant".

Now Ebba Busch is referring to the human factor.

It was a misleading image due to the human factor and I'm not the one who exposes people. It's the kind of thing that sometimes happens, she says.
