Lotta Gröning: Vänsterpartiet har tappat kontrollen över sin identitet

Two Left Party legislators Lorena Delgado-Varas and Daniel Riasat may be expelled from the Left Party Is this appropriate Yes I must say based on the Left Party's strategy to try to become part of the red-green government and get a position in the government They wouldn't have a chance with these two people still in the party In addition the party is generally quite accused of pro-Palestinian sympathies Additionally they are banned from the Jewish Central Council They are no longer allowed to participate in celebrations or remember the Holocaust remembrance day It's quite serious for a party in the Swedish parliament I think Lorena Delgado-Varas was expelled for spreading antisemitic images especially antisemitic image on social media She has also gone through liked comments that are hate speech against Jews and Israel How big of a problem is this within the left-wing party regarding antisemitism It's a problem an obvious problem There are indeed pro-Palestinian demonstrations all over the party as well There you only see one side and cannot see that Hamas also has a role apart from the massacre Without also having a role where they use the people as shields and shoot demonstrators protesting against Hamas Oh there they are shooting people who are getting food This is indeed a problem within the party and to some extent in Sweden as we have brought the conflict here and one can no longer see both sides These people are part of a faction within the left-wing party that is very far to the left What is happening in the left party right now It's currently an identity crisis They made an incredible choice and have greatly increased the number of members There are over 31 000 members which is a lot for a party in Sweden so to speak Men allt eftersom denna konflikt har pågått och allt eftersom vänsterpartiet inte har tagit tag i dessa The pro-Palestinian uprising and the hatred towards Jews have made the problem worse So now they are most popular in the opinion polls and if they want to be part of the government they absolutely have to do something about this It's unthinkable that they would be chosen to join a red-green government The Left Party has never been part of a government Why is that No they have always been a supporting party to the Social Democrats They were a kind of doormat and have never been big enough for almost anything The share has been around 4-6% Gudrun Schyman had 12 at her time They have always been the doormat one could say that has always been trampled by a social democratic government They have had conflicts but they have never once considered not supporting a social democratic government It was first with the refugee policy and Löfven when they took a stand and said this could not be done It's fair to say that otherwise one has been completely loyal How socially responsible is the Left Party today I wouldn't rate them very highly in terms of government competence I don't really know what they could contribute to a red-green government Because Magdalena Andersson is so incredibly dependent on the Center Party Centerpartiet doesn't want anything to do with the Left Party The Green Party and the Left Party are getting closer to each other They have very different opinions about climate and such things in another way I don't know about the Center Party and the Left Party I would think that Magdalena Andersson is forced to make a choice I doubt that the Green Party can enter the government next year In the early 2000s the Left Party itself warned They saw what they thought was a new communism entering the party What is the Social Democrats' relationship with the Left Party And to those who are most to the left within the Left Party The relationship with the Left Party is that they depend on them She is extremely dependent even though they would have great difficulty putting them in a government I haven't heard anything particularly sharp from Magdalena Andersson What's happening in the Left Party She has pretty much the same problem herself She has a picture of herself sitting in the Riksdag so to speak Also from the Palestine and Gaza conflict The red-green opposition is a bit vague on these issues The Social Democrats also have criticism directed at them It has been very impactful Margot Wallström the foreign minister was also detained in Israel What do you think might happen within the Left Party in the near future and up to the election The party leadership is about to get exactly hell The anger over what they have done to these two members The verdict has very strong support There is every chance that it will be tough There may even be a risk of splitting but I dare not comment on that Men whoever is part of the party is divided and there is a big argument I don't know how this will end but it's going to be tough How likely is it that one could see a left-wing government without the Left Party She's probably quite big It depends on the election results of course it depends on the election results They are wondering what Anna-Karin Hatt is taking for the election She brings along that one absolutely should not cooperate with SD but she also brings along You absolutely should not cooperate with the left It is there that they stand diametrically opposite to each other the center and the left It's just the left wing and SD going in the opposite direction At the same time it depends on the election results On the civil side it's pretty much that they have to almos I would think that if the Sweden Democrats maintain their strong positio Then it almost becomes natural to include them in a government that's what they want It will also be something that comes up in the election campaign of course It depends on the currency exchange rate The red-green opposition can't manage without the Left Party so they are definitely not in the government The Left Party those excluded now Delgado Varas and Daniel Riasat He has openly shown his support for many demonstrations that others have seen as problematic We had the events in Brussels where a member of the Left Party attacked Aleksandr Eskomov We also had a case where a leftist attacked journalist Joakim Lamott How do you view this happening within the Left Party and why is it happening to the Left Party We have different parts of extremism This part of the Left Party can be called a form of left-wing extremism They are policies that the Left Party does not actually support but that they still have within the party You have right-wing extremism left-wing extremism and Islamist extremism All of this is something we are dealing with in society today That's why we have a quite difficult social and political situation Additionally it's a political debate that is completely meaningless There they just yell and hate and threaten each other and give us voters nothing I think the entire democracy is being undermined because of this How important is it that this is happening within the Left Party right now The front part and democracy in general The Left Party this has been going on for a long time What can be criticized about the leadership is that it has taken so long Additionally regarding Varja she was acquitted It was decided that the image was not antisemitic She might be a bit uncertain about why she is out now But of course she has always protested She has indeed been elected to the Palestinian parliament even though it is forbidden I agree with these comments that have been sound-deficient etc It's just unsustainable in the long run They have postponed it until now Now comes the explosion and then it will be seen if they can gather again and one of them was an attempt at a government partner
