The time parties have agreed to limit military -like, semi -automatic weapons after the deed in Örebro. The proposal has faced strong internal criticism in primarily SD.
Richard Jomshof wrote on Sunday at X, among other things: “It is in fact a devastating majority in the Swedish Democrats that does not share the performance and I find it difficult to imagine that it will stop at this.”
Long debate at a meeting
On Monday, the Swedish Democrats held a previously planned party board meeting, which discussed the proposal for changed gun laws.
“Today, we have had a long and factual debate and discussion on the issue at our party board meeting, where we have all had the opportunity to express our respective opinions. During that discussion, I announced that, on the occasion of the criticism, but also because I am not willing to pilot a revised proposal in the Justice Committee, have made the decision to resign as chairman of the Justice Committee, ”Jomshof himself writes on X after The meeting.
Left temporarily after criminal offenses
Last fall, Jomshof temporarily left Posten as chairman of the Justice Committee in connection with his suspicion of incitement against people group for sharing satirical drawings. Jomshof then returned when the suspicions were closed down.
The Swedish Democrats’ group leader Linda Lindberg writes in a comment on SVT News:
“Richard has done very well for the party in the role of chairman of the Justice Committee and it is with mixed feelings that we together landed in that it is the best way forward.”
SVT News is looking for Richard Jomshof.
