The revelation that a leader of a criminal motorcycle gang was a guest at the wedding of SD leader Jimmie Åkesson has led to strong reactions, and Åkesson himself has called it a failure.

However, the information has not affected the cooperation between SD and the government parties, according to Gustav Gellerbrant, SD's chief in the coordination office, where all important issues in the Tidö Agreement are negotiated.

It happens that we in the Coordination get reason to discuss things that concern our parties. This time, I haven't received any questions at all from the other parties. So I regard this as a small thing in the big picture, he says in Ekot's Saturday interview.

He does not believe that the revelation will complicate SD's plans to sit in a government after the next election. He does not believe either that it affects the trust in SD's justice policy, for example when it comes to combating gang crime.
