Leader: Why is Dadgostar so hard to stop anti -Semitism in V?

It will be a sunny May first for the Left Party this year. Recently, MP Lorena Delgado Varas (V) shared a Anti -Semitic image on the platform X, where both image and text claimed that Jews govern other countries. Subsequently, it has arisen that she has Liked comments Like: « Israhell owns not only the United States but also Sweden ».

The reactions within the party? Local compounds and highly profiled MPs In V has shown its support, the party leadership has been low.

What makes the situation so troublesome is that this must now be considered a trend. The past year has been full of V-marked scandals: a party refused Distance From Palestinian terrorist organizations, another meant that Swedish journalists ”serves global Zionism« , Another said that the V leader »Licking Sioniströv« 

The party leadership in the Left Party Billing recurring for Top managementbut when it comes to just anti -Semitism, they fail to control at all.

In the book « The Left and Tyranniet », former People’s Party leader Per Ahlmark 1994 wrote that « one does not have to be anti -Semitis to condemn Israel, but it helps ».

Again and again, the same record is cranked: anti -Semitism and extremism are followed by passivity. Only if the media pressure becomes large enough is someone excluded in the end. How is it?

In the book « The Left and Tyranniet », former People’s Party leader Per Ahlmark 1994 wrote that « one does not have to be anti -Semitis to condemn Israel, but it helps ». Is it the same problem that haunts in some parts of the left yet?

In several of the other scandals, the party leadership has taken months before the criticism has grown so strong that they were forced to act. And even the latest answer, regarding Delgado Varas is weak: « What has happened is incredibly serious and we discuss the future, » says party secretary Maria Forsberg. So a discussion. Is that all?

In all other parties – Except for the Swedish Democrats – racist conspiracy theories lead to rapid exclusion. In the Left Party it leads to « dialogue » and support from party heights.

Why?

While the actions after scandals are long cooked by the management, frustration is expressed in other parts of the party. This week, a dissatisfaction within V was reported on the handling of Delgado Varas: « This situation stands in the way of the policy we want to pursue, it puts sticks in the wheel, » says a source to DN. It is reasonably so.

The left’s message for the first May of the year is « Everyone should be able to afford! ». But now economic policy is drowning in scandals. Rightly. No one should be able to afford to take this easy on racism.
