After the party expressed that it lacked confidence in Jamal El-Haj, he chose to leave the Social Democrats, but at the same time to remain in the Riksdag as a political savage. Something Magdalena Andersson is critical of.
– It is clear that it is unacceptable. Everyone takes out candidate insurance when applying for S, says Andersson.
Jamal El-Haj chose on Monday to leave the party after the announcement. Despite this, he chooses to remain a political savage and refers to trust in the voters.
“It would not be fair to our voters and to Swedish democracy to leave my position,” he wrote in a letter.
The decision was met with strong internal criticism already yesterday.
– This is an unacceptable action by Jamal El-Haj and further proof that he puts his own interests ahead of the party’s, said Social Democrats group leader Lena Hallengren to TV4 Nyheterna yesterday.
