SD's Gustav Gellerbrant to return to work after parental leave scandal

SD leader Gustav Gellerbrant went on parental leave after Expo reported that his partner had spread articles and posts from channels known for Russian propaganda and disinformation. Now the party has announced that he will soon return to duty, reports SVT Nyheter.

The Sweden Democrats tell SVT that Gustav Gellerbrant, who heads the Sweden Democrats' coordination office in the Government Offices, will soon return to work.

"There is no reason for us to reconsider the Government Offices' assessment of Gustav. He will therefore shortly return to duty and work as usual," the party writes in an email to SVT.

The TV channel reports that Gellerbrant was seen attending a meeting at the party's office in the Riksdag on Tuesday.

The Social Democrats' defence policy spokesman, Peter Hultqvist, calls Expo's information "grave".

"Our assessment is that a security investigation should be carried out. The action shows that Ulf Kristersson ultimately does not take responsibility for what happens at the Government Offices. It is a very bad action," says Hultqvist in a written comment to TT.
