SVT says breakdown in routines after booking of Nick Alinia

After several dropouts and strong criticism of the program "IFS - Immigrants for Swedes" - for booking right-wing activist Nick Alinia as a panel member, SVT now admits that there was a "breakdown in procedures".

Podcaster Julia Frändfors and host Amie Bramme Sey have chosen to cancel their participation in IFS. Journalist Bilan Osman has also now demanded that the episode in which she appears be removed.

"I was told that he would be there but didn't think it would happen," Osman writes in an email to Expressen.

In a written comment to TT, the program's editor-in-chief Helena Olsson writes:

"I understand how other participants feel about this, but the decisions about what is published lie with SVT. The recording has just ended, and when there is something to see I will watch and make an overall assessment of what should reach the audience. Someone in the editorial team obviously wanted Nick Alinia as a guest. I don't know how the booking happened, but research and usual working routines failed here. We have to learn from that."
