The Left Party: Exclusion Not a Given for Anti-Semitism

Three left-wing local politicians are accused of anti-Semitism or supporting terrorist organizations. All of these things are unacceptable, says party secretary Aron Etzler. Yet, the consequences are different.

The Sydsvenskan/HD has in investigations shown that Ali Hadrous, who sits in Landskrona's municipal council for the Left Party, has spread Jew-hatred and conspiracy theories and praised terrorists in a number of posts on social media.

Also Orwa Kadoura, vice chairman for V in Malmö, has spread anti-Semitic messages and shared a video that praises the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and spread anti-Semitic messages.

A exclusion case is now underway against the Landskrona politician, but not against the Malmö politician.

He has taken down the posts and is very remorseful, says Aron Etzler to P1 Morgon.

We have got the impression that he did not really understand.

In the third case, the site Doku has shown that the chairman of the party in Angered in Gothenburg, Kristofer Lundberg, has expressed support for the terror-listed PLFP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).

If you are the chairman of a party association in Gothenburg, you cannot have your own foreign policy, then it is the Left Party's foreign policy that applies, says Etzler.

Discussions with Lundberg are currently underway.

If you deviate from the Left Party's policy in an area that is so important and sensitive, it is unacceptable in all these cases. But it does not mean that the first thing that happens is that you are excluded from the party, but you start by investigating whether it is a misunderstanding or if the person has not understood, says Etzler.
