Axel Josefson, The Moderate Party's group leader in Gothenburg, has been subjected to threats. During the night until Monday, someone had sprayed the words "Die Axel" on the wall to the party's office in the city, writes Göteborgs-Posten.

It is of course unpleasant and completely unacceptable to make death threats against politicians, says Axel Josefson to the newspaper.

Apart from the sprayed threat, a pane was smashed on the entrance door to the office. The incident has been reported to the police.

Axel Josefson, who was the chairman of the municipal board between 2019 and 2022, is now the leader of the opposition in the municipal council. He says that what has happened is unacceptable.

It is unfortunately a small sign of a harder and tougher political climate. It is very unfortunate that we are heading in that direction. I hope that we can have a sensible political debate, where you can have different opinions, he says to the newspaper.
