Despite the harsh criticism from Jomshof and several other party peaks, SD wants to limit military -like, semi -automatic weapons after the mass shooting in Örebro. Now Jomshof has resigned in protest.
– This issue was up to the Executive Committee on Wednesday. Already then Jomshof protested, but they still chose to move on and then he takes the consequences of it. He is leaving for, As he writes, He cannot pilot this proposal through the Justice Committee as its chairman, says Elisabeth Marmorstein.
Changed gun laws
At the same time, Marmorstein does not exclude that Jomshof has been asked to resign, as he has contradicted an agreement that the party leadership and ultimately Jimmie Åkesson have done with other time parties on changed gun laws.
– Such settlements need to stand for the main representative in the current committee, especially for SD who aspires to take a seat in a possible right -wing government after the next election.
Can lead to broader dissatisfaction
Elisabeth Marmorstein has a hard time seeing that SD would back from joining a change in the gun law.
– It would be to reject those who have made the decision, including Jimmie Åkesson. Instead, they may well try to appease the critics as best in the continued legislative work. But there is an obvious risk that this will trigger a broader dissatisfaction among the grass roots where you start to question the delivery on other issues, for example the migration issue. And it can be difficult for the party leadership.
