Kristersson: Gang connections have not damaged cooperation

There is a great focus on Jimmie Åkesson's (SD) wedding when party leaders meet journalists ahead of Sunday's debate on SVT's Agenda. It concerns the revelation that one of the wedding guests holds a leadership position in the motorcycle gang Comanches, which the police consider a criminal network.

According to the Social Democratic Party's leader Magdalena Andersson, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) needs to guarantee that there are no gang connections in his immediate vicinity.

The largest party in the government base has been exposed not only for having had a leader of a criminal gang at Jimmie Åkesson's wedding, she says.

V-leader Nooshi Dadgostar is also making demands on Ulf Kristersson.

This is extremely serious and Kristersson will have to answer today what he will do to stop this.

M: Not affected the cooperation

The SD leader defends himself and says that the party is the one working hardest against gang crime.

There is gang crime in society. We are the party that has most strongly wanted to combat it. We will continue to do so within the framework of cooperation with the government, says Jimmie Åkesson.

The exposure has not, however, affected the Tidö cooperation according to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M).

The Social Democratic Party also needs to "clean up in their own house" after the exposure of how the sale of S-lotter was handled, says Kristersson.

There is a lot of throwing stones in glass houses right now when the largest opposition party themselves uses gang criminals to sell lottery tickets.

Busch: Enough questions

Not all politicians were, however, bothered by the issue. Ebba Busch (KD) emphasizes that Åkesson is the party leader of SD, not her, and that there have been enough questions about the wedding:

I think we have now answered enough questions about this. Is there any other question? No, then we move on.
