[quote=TheLocal.se][b]Sweden Democrats in crisis over racist film
The Sweden Democrats called a crisis meeting on Wednesday morning after daily Expressen published a film showing finance spokesman Erik Almqvist and two others push a drunken man and use words like “whore” and “darkie” in a clip from 2010. [/b]
The high-level party members in the film are Almqvist, justice policy spokesman and MP Kent Ekeroth, and Christian Westling, who sits on the Stockholm city council.
The three got into a scuffle with an inebriated man at a fast-food outlet in Stockholm during the summer of 2010. The episode was filmed by Ekeroth - a clip later obtained by Expressen.
In the film, featured below, Almqvist is heard making racist comments to the inebriated man, using words like “darkie”, “cunt” and “darkie-lover”.
Without knowing who they were, a 21-year-old woman tried to get the three men to stop harassing the drunk. She was then called a “little whore” by Almqvist.
When the woman came forward last week and Expressen confronted Almqvist with the allegations against him, he denied everything. On Wednesday morning, after Expressen published the footage, the party leadership called a crisis meeting.
“We will be making a comment later today, that is all I have to say,” spokesman Martin Kinnunen told news agency TT.
According to political scientist Johan Martinsson from the University of Gothenburg, an expert on political rhetoric and the behaviour of politicians, Almqvist is unlikely to be able to stay on as an MP.
“The comment about the ‘little whore’ is enough in itself really,” Martinsson told TT.
“That he denied saying any of this doesn’t make it any better. His situation is bad enough as it is, but perhaps he would have been helped by an explanation and by lying low for a while, but even that is not very likely.”
The footage was published only a month after Sweden Democrat head Jimmie Åkesson, in a letter to all party members, declared that the party was enforcing its zero-tolerance policy against racism. [/quote]

translated it's "svarting" which is a bit more vulgar in swedish than you would think of it in english
The bigger question is why the Sweden Democrats fill their parliamentary seats with hooligans and drug addicts.
SD is hardly "Extreme right wing"; Only by Swedish standards. Besides, I am fairly certain the video published had been edited, as well.
If you want extreme right wing, look up SvP.

Exactly. But it's good that Åkesson, the party leader is holding strict to his zero tolerance against racism in the party, hopefully someday the party will not be picked at by other parties or the press just because they wanna decrease the immigration to the country.
Not surprised in the slightest, still tho i would really want to see an unedited video so i could see wtf was going on
Interestingly, none of them seemed to recall these details of the event.

Not good enough, they should be kicked from the party immediately.

As much as i dislike SD and their politics it makes me really annoyed to see all the other parties act pretty much like fox news when it comes to debates with SD!
In other news; Water is finally confirmed to be wet by the national scientific institute of Stockholm.
More at 11.
It is funny how that the people in Sverige demokraterna once belonged to other nazi and extreme parties. They pretty much changed the party name and tried to be less extreme. Suddenly they get a fuckload of support from idiots here in Sweden who don't know shit about the history behind SD.
Not only can you find this info on the internet. But this video provides even more evidence that the people in SD are still the same people who once were in nazi parties...
