Kristersson Criticizes Stegrud's Actions in Stockholm Incident

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) criticizes the SD member Jessica Stegrud's actions in connection with the filmed confrontation with two teenagers at Stockholm Central. I have no idea why she does this, but it's dreadful, that's not how you should do it, says Kristersson to TT.

I do not like it, and I do not like the tone in Swedish politics, he continues.

On Friday, the Sweden Democrats' group leader Linda Lindberg announced that the party is currently not taking any measures against Stegrud.

Kristersson says that the situation does not stand in the way of the political work ahead.

Each party must take responsibility for its own members. I am not responsible for individual Sweden Democratic members, he says.

The newspaper Expo revealed this week that Jessica Stegrud filmed when a man, an opinion-maker in social media who moves in right-wing extremist circles, follows and confronts two people at Stockholm Central Station. The man then spread the film on the net.
