The SD top Richard Jomshof hopes that the V member Daniel Riazat will "leave Sweden and go back home". The Left Party group leader demands that the government takes action, writes Svenska Dagbladet.

The Member of Parliament Daniel Riazat (L) left the Left Party's executive committee earlier in the week. He has described the decision not to allow Lorena Delgado Varas from representing the Left Party in Parliament as one of the biggest scandals in the party's history.

His departure was followed by a post on the X platform where the Member of Parliament Richard Jomshof writes: "Do we dare hope that he will also leave Sweden and go back home?"

This is classic racism. If you have any kind of foreign background, you are not considered part of Sweden. And when they don't like you and what you say, they think you should "go home", says the Left Party's group leader Samuel Gonzalez Westling to SvD.

He demands that both the Sweden Democrats and the government take action.

Daniel Riazat writes in a written comment to SvD that "I expect the Speaker Andreas Norlén and Ulf Kristersson to act against this vile racism."

Jomshof refers to another post on the platform when SvD seeks him for a comment. There, he has written that those who engage in "anti-Semitic views or otherwise support such things [...] should move from here, regardless of whether one has one's roots in Tehran or in Falun."
