During today’s press conference, there was almost a carpet bomb of various accusations about Robert Thunfors concerning his leadership within the party.
– We have a crisis within the party, admits Mats Fagerström, the party’s political secretary.
Caroline Nordgren, board member, and Fagerström said they spoke for a majority of the board, with the exception of the chairman Ingela Korhonen, who also did not participate in the press meeting.
According to Korhonen herself, the board has gone behind her back and pursued the matter themselves.
– It’s a coup, she tells SVT.
– She is not deposed. She has been welcome at every meeting, says Caroline Nordgren,
Played secret recording
At the press conference, a secret recording was played, taped in connection with a sensitive personnel matter. It concerned a connection in which a prominent party member would have been involved.
In the recording, Thunfors can be heard giving her two options – resign voluntarily or be fired – with troublesome publicity as a result.
The assessment at the press conference was that it was a crime – illegal threats and illegal coercion.
But despite all the information in recent days, the message was that they will probably not proceed with a police report, citing that it would affect innocent victims.
Thunfors rejects accusations
Robert Thunfors himself strongly refutes accusations of crime:
– There is nothing illegal in it, it was a type of agreement that is common in the labor market, he tells SVT.
