We have agreed that it is necessary for him to take a break, says Håkan Eriksson, chairman of the Left Party in Gothenburg, to the newspaper.

The website Doku has shown that Kristofer Lundberg has expressed support for the terrorist-classified PLFP (People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine). Lundberg is also involved in a criminal investigation.

This is about previous actions where he did not follow the party's policy, but also that he pauses his trust assignment during the type of criminal investigation that is ongoing, says Håkan Eriksson.

The case of Kristofer Lundberg is one of three where local politicians within the Left Party have been accused of anti-Semitism or supporting terrorist organizations.

Previously, Orwa Kadoura has left the party and resigned with immediate effect as vice chairman of the Left Party in Malmö.

Furthermore, Ali Hadrous in Landskrona has been suspended since he shared a number of anti-Semitic posts on social media, which Sydsvenskan/HD was able to reveal. An exclusion case is ongoing.
