Many SD top officials lay low the day after the cold shower in the EU election.
The party is now to conduct a thorough analysis of the election result.
Few SD top officials spoke publicly the day after the setback in the EU election. For the first time, the party backed down in an election and only became the fourth largest.
On X writes party leader Jimmie Åkesson that the election result was a disappointment.
"Actually almost a shock. For myself and for very many others."
SD top officials gathered in meetings on Monday, including the party board. There, Jimmie Åkesson announced that a group is now being set up to conduct a thorough analysis. It will be led by Kinnunen and be ready after the summer.
One explanation for the poor election result that SD supporters have put forward is that TV4's revelation about anonymous accounts on social media disrupted SD's election campaign.
Martin Kinnunen believes that Åkesson's counterattack against TV4 must also be put on the table.
No criticism of Åkesson was expressed at the meeting, according to Kinnunen.
SD's third name on the EU list, Dick Erixon, believes that the most important reason why so few voted for SD was that SD, for the first time, did not go to the election as an opposition party.
Moreover, Erixon believes that SD voters think it is the government, not the EU Parliament, that can make a difference in their heart issues: a stricter migration policy and tougher action against crime.
Erixon, however, believes that SD may need to rethink its tone in the election campaign. According to him, SD chose to drive the campaign a bit sharper and tougher than usual.
In Stockholm city, only seven per cent voted for SD compared to 13.2 per cent in the country as a whole. Gabriel Kroon, SD's group leader in Stockholm city, believes that SD now needs to broaden its climate policy.
