SD top in Botkyrka takes time out
Martin Inglot, group leader in Botkyrka and member of the regional council in Stockholm, will resign from his political duties, reports Mitti Botkyrka.
It was this summer that Aftonbladet revealed that the SD leader was registered with his mother in Botkyrka – but lived in Östermalm.
In December, charges were brought against him regarding accounting offences.
At the next municipal council meeting, he will leave all local political assignments.
– We have talked and we think that when the situation is as it is, it makes sense for him to take a time out. It was his own decision, says local party chairman Robert Stenkvist (SD) to the newspaper.

Why does Tove’s investigation feel so strange? Long periods of detention for the girls who are in custody, the police being extremely secretive about the circumstances and a what feels like an unusual investigation? Can you boil down the circumstances so that you keep up with where you are now in the process?
RK
Isn’t it the case that if it had been Russia that was behind the Nordstream attack, it would have been trumpeted out!?
But maybe it’s not Russia and then you have to SILENCE it!
That’s how the media works!!
Ugh
Hey Uff! At the moment there is nothing new to report about who is behind the sabotage. On Christmas Eve, we published an article on the hunt for perpetrators, citing European intelligence sources who are unsure of the Russian trail. You can read the article here.
But the fact that we would, as you claim, “shut down” something is therefore not true.
