The Sweden Democrats' group leader in Malmö, Magnus Olsson, tells Sydsvenskan that he will now talk to his party colleague Jörgen Grubb, who is also the chairman of the Sweden Democrats in Malmö.

"He can do better and surely understands now in hindsight that sometimes you have to count to three before posting something on X", says Olsson in a written comment to the newspaper.

When the journalists behind the Kalla faktas exposé on the Sweden Democrats' so-called troll factory were nominated for the Guldspaden journalism award, Jörgen Grubb wrote on X that "in a functioning society, it would have meant prison".

When ETC journalist Joakim Medin was detained in Turkey, Grubb's comment on X was: "Communist, do you need to say more".
