Wanted to remove Demirok – gets harsh criticism himself from two local youth associations
CUF Västerbotten and CUF Stockholm demand the resignation of the chairman of the Center Party’s youth association, Caroline von Seth.
Yesterday, the chairman of the Center Party’s youth association, Caroline von Seth, demanded the resignation of C leader Muharrem Demirok. Now it has turned around.
During the morning, both CUF Västerbotten and CUF Stockholm demanded her resignation.
– We think that CUF Rik’s criticism of Muharrem Demirok can be directed at Caroline von Seth and we therefore support the resignation demands that have been directed at her within the union, says Edvard Ekhem, district chairman of CUF Greater Stockholm to TV4 Nyheterna.
– Although we believe that Von Seth’s trust has been used up, we have full confidence in the federal board as a whole, even if in this particular case they have made a mistake.
“Sorry”
Caroline von Seth does not want to appear for an interview, but has returned with a written comment.
“I regret that two districts do not find me suitable to represent the union. The decision we have communicated is a unanimous decision that everyone in CUF’s federal board has supported,” she writes.
But the dissatisfaction with the leader is not shared by all districts.
“We in CUF Jämtland County continue to have full confidence in Caroline von Seth as Union Chair and are strongly opposed to the resignation demands directed at her by other districts,” writes the CUF Jämtland District Chair.
Furthermore, he says that they continue to support the resignation demand against Demirok.
Alleged crack in party
According to several anonymous informants, Demirok’s opening to govern together with the Social Democrats has caused a rift in the party. On Thursday, a meeting was held, which according to Maria Persdotter, district chairman in Östergötland, should not be seen as a crisis meeting.
– It wasn’t really my image. It was not a crisis meeting. It was a fairly non-critical meeting, she says on Friday morning, to TV4 Nyheterna.
