SD leader Emilie Pilthammar in Sölvesborg warned after blog posts

Sölvesborg politician Emilie Pilthammar (SD) has been warned by the party over her criticized blog posts, SVT Blekinge reports. However, she remains the party's top candidate in Sölvesborg.

"Absolutely. There are no changes," says Mats Gunnarsson, SD's chairman in Sölvesborg, to TT.

Pilthammar, formerly a Moderate, is the SD's new top candidate in Sölvesborg ahead of the autumn elections. She has been warned after it emerged that she had written on her blog, among other things, that choosing between Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy is like "plague or cholera". The matter was handled by the party board on Monday, reports SVT Blekinge.

Gunnarsson believes these are "isolated contexts", but at the same time says it is important to stick to the party line.
