As usual, the Social Democrats have stuck their heads in the sand

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government.

Now it has emerged that the chairman of the municipal board in the City and Municipality of Gothenburg, Jonas Attenius, was aware that the decision in the purchasing and procurement committee to prohibit the purchase of goods and services from Israel was likely illegal. He was also aware that the possibility of the decision being overturned by the administrative court was imminent. Which also happened today. 

Despite this, the social democratic politician Mr. Jonas Attenius chose to stand in front of 15,000 visitors and receive their cheers when he said quote "your tax money should not go to maintain illegal occupations" unquote. To be precise, it's not even their tax money because Gothenburg, Sweden's 2nd largest city, burdens the municipal tax equalization system instead of contributing to it.

Criticism of Jonas Attenius has been significant at the same time that the Social Democrats' party leader Magdalena Andersson put the lid on the issue.
