Pim van Dorpel leaves the post as vice chairman of HRF. Archive image. Photo: Sören Andersson
The chair of the hotel and restaurant union Malin Ackholt and vice-chair Pim van Dorpel are leaving their positions.
According to a press release, it is a joint decision.
“I can state that there are no longer the right conditions for us to operate in our roles. We take responsibility and leave room for others who can take the association forward”, says Malin Ackholt.
Pim van Dorpel was recently intended as the new chairman of LO but dropped out at the last moment. Just a couple of days before he was to be elected to the congress, information emerged that during junior high school he moved in white power environments.
He said that as a 14-year-old he applied to the skinskull culture, but that he did not profess to Nazism. He called himself “patriot” or “friend of Sweden”, he said.
Malin Ackholt has also previously been considered for a position within LO’s leadership, when she was nominated and available for election, something that the newspaper Hotellrevyn reported on earlier this year. In the end, however, she did not get such a role.
TT has sought Malin Ackholt and Pim van Dorpel, who both decline to comment, the union’s press secretary announces.
– They have taken some much-needed time off, says Björn Fridén.

Hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants in the United States are getting a chance to stay legally in the country. This is through a presidential order from Democrat Joe Biden’s White House that was made public on Tuesday, US media reports.
The initiative applies to undocumented immigrants who have been in the United States for more than ten years and are married to an American citizen and their children. The group, an estimated 500,000 people, is now given the opportunity to apply for a so-called green card and work permit within a three-year period, without the threat of deportation.
The measure is described as the most extensive in the area of immigration in several years. It is presented barely five months before the presidential election between Biden and Republican Donald Trump, at a time when Biden is struggling with a lack of public support.
The presidential order is also published on the day twelve years after Biden’s boss at the time, President Barack Obama, presented the Daca migration program. It protects children of people who entered the US illegally from deportation and has been the subject of fierce criticism from Donald Trump during his time in the White House.

An officer was seriously injured when Chinese ships rammed Philippine vessels on Monday, the Philippines military said in a statement.
The Philippine government on Monday accused Chinese vessels of ramming and damaging Philippine vessels in the South China Sea, near the disputed Second Thomas Shoal atoll.
“People’s Liberation Army Navy, Chinese Coast Guard and Chinese Naval Militia vessels engaged in dangerous maneuvers, including ramming and towing,” the Philippine National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea said on Monday.
According to China’s coast guard, a Philippine ship in the area had ignored warnings from the Chinese side and that therefore “control measures were taken”.
“The Philippines is fully responsible for this,” China’s coast guard said in a statement.
There has been a traffic accident on national highway 51 between Finspång and Svärtinge.
The police write on their website that it is a single accident where a truck has driven into the center guardrail.
There is a complete standstill in both directions of traffic.
It is currently unknown if anyone was injured in the accident.

Regarding p1 decision that summer is only broadcast in the SR app. Isn’t that a slap in the face to all pensioners who don’t have the app. What do pensioner organizations say about this? I can imagine that many older people are listening. Which only has the radio.
Ronny Andersson.
Hello! This is what it says on SR’s website: “If you want to listen to Summer in P1, you can either listen directly on FM at 1 p.m., just as usual, or on Sveriges Radio Play – where you can also listen to the summer episodes afterwards” .
You can therefore listen live on the radio. However, you will not be able to listen to the episodes in other apps such as Spotify.
