Tidö party leaders reject DN interviews with podcaster

DN has assigned podcaster Edvin Törnblom to interview party leaders ahead of the election. Ulf Kristersson (M), Jimmie Åkesson (SD) and Ebba Busch (KD) have declined.

"We have declined," writes the Prime Minister's press secretary, Hanna Strömberg, to Aftonbladet .

Ebba Busch is happy to participate in debates and interviews. But we get a lot of questions and have to prioritize, says KD's press manager, Mia Widell, to Expressen .

SD's deputy, Oskar Cavalli-Björkman, tells Kvartal that the party lacks confidence in Törnblom's and DN's "ability to conduct an impartial and fair interview."

DN's initiative has been criticized by the government. The reason is that Törnblom has called the S leader Magdalena Andersson his "favorite prime minister," among other things.

Åsa Beckman, deputy cultural director at DN, tells Expressen that the interview series with Edvin Törnblom will continue as planned.

We're not changing anything. Then we'll see how we do with these places, but we'll have to deal with that later.
