Municipal Councilor Departs Sweden Democrats, Stays as Independent

The chairman of the municipal board in Bjuv is leaving the Sweden Democrats but remains in his post, as a political independent.

The former Sweden Democrat Mikael Henrysson describes that a rift has emerged between him and the Sweden Democrats on the local level.

He emphasizes that he ideologically will continue to work in line with the Sweden Democrats and that the conflicts locally concern issues surrounding the leadership, writes Helsingborgs Dagblad.

I will continue my mission as politically independent, he says to the newspaper.
