SD leader Mattias Karlsson’s foundation is part of a police case after trying to buy the Facebook group Forum for rural areas. It has been part of a larger plan to influence how people think, but several collaborators are unhappy. – It’s pure fraud, says Lisa Kiderud, who filed a police report. Before the last election, Lisa Kiderud was contacted by SD leader Mattias Karlsson’s fundraising foundation. This is shown in the fourth part of Kalla fakta’s review “The Power Plan”. Mattias Karlsson’s closest employee, Andreas Palmlöv, promised to help her raise money, start an association and build a website for her Facebook group. It was originally called We who support Karl Hedin, but it has since changed its name to Forum for rural areas. – He meant that the Social Democrats had infiltrated the system and that they were the counter force that would do the same, says Lisa Kiderud. She is currently a disability pensioner and Andreas Palmlöv finally wanted to buy the Facebook group for SEK 200,000. Both he and Lisa Kiderud signed an agreement where they agreed, but she never received any money. Ended up with a police report Lisa Kiderud ended up kicking Andreas Palmlöv out of the group’s admin and filed a police report. The preliminary investigation is still ongoing. Andreas Palmlöv himself does not want to appear for any kind of interview. He writes in a text message that he is not aware of the police report. In an email, he later writes that he did not enter into any binding agreement because “the seller tried to sell something that was not allowed to sell according to Facebook’s rules.” He also writes that their goal was to strengthen the group when Lisa Kiderud herself did not want to push it further. Kalla fakta’s review shows that he has offered her other types of compensation in order to control the Facebook group, after the payment of 200,000 kroner was stopped. Lisa Kiderud says she has never received any money. – It is pure fraud. If you show up and want to buy a Facebook group and there is paper that we sign, and then you don’t get a buck, says Lisa Kiderud. Secret plan Internal chats show that a secret plan is being hatched that Lisa Kiderud does not know about. In an internal chat, Andreas Palmlöv writes: “We use the data from the initial member website to build a customer base” (…) “we can point out that the revenue from the sale is made by us and not the association”. He also wants Lisa Kiderud to spread pictures with political messages in the group to help win voters for the Sweden Democrats. – You saw a rural area that fled the Center and there will be a void to fill, says Lisa Kiderud. – It was about the election. And to get into admin to start sharing in the group. See the full interview with Lisa in the player above.
