A security investigation is another demand from Peter Hultqvist.
Everything has to be on the table, he says.
"It's about a security crisis. It's aimed squarely at the Cabinet Office, that is, the Prime Minister's own office," he adds.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) urges the Sweden Democrats to get to the bottom of the information.
Then you have to assume that it will also have consequences, he says.
Putin tribute
On Thursday, Expo magazine reported that an SD official - a woman who moved from Russia to Sweden in 2006 - had for ten years spread articles and posts with Russian narratives from Russian state agencies and the news service RT, as well as from other channels known for Russian propaganda and disinformation. She also allegedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The woman - currently on parental leave - is cohabiting with Gustav Gellerbrant, who is a senior civil servant for the Social Democrats in the Government Offices.
According to Strömmer, the SD official in the Riksdag lacks "the prerequisites for having the job" if the information is correct. The same statement came from the Prime Minister on Thursday.
As for Gustav Gellerbrant, who is the SD's head of the coordination office where all important issues in the Tidö Agreement are negotiated, it is the Government Offices that are responsible for the security clearance. Strömmer says he is not aware of any questions being asked of him.
Ulf Kristersson says that he "of course will not" come to an extraordinary meeting of the Defence Committee.
"This is a question about a person in the Riksdag who works there. If that information is correct, then these are serious matters. We should not have pro-Russian propaganda in the Swedish Riksdag. Then that person must leave," Kristersson tells the media before Friday's party leadership debate.
According to Kristersson, it is a matter for the SD to sort out and he does not believe it has anything to do with the Defence Committee.
Sees risk of infiltration
SD leader Jimmie Åkesson is on the same track.
It's an agenda-driven process that he (Hultqvist) is involved in. It may not actually have much relevance, he says.
He adds that it is reasonable that it takes time to figure out what has happened and that new questions have been asked of the SD top brass in the Government Offices after Expo's publication.
Hultqvist warns of a risk of infiltration in the Prime Minister's Office and that the SD top official in the Government Office should take time out from his position during the investigation.
TT is looking for Gustav Gellerbrant.
