Matilda Kilström joined Social Democrats over anger at Sweden Democrats

Matilda Kilström, 33, joined the Social Democrats due to anger over the Sweden Democrats' entry into parliament. She is speaking at the May Day event in Smedjebacken. The engagement became a way to channel her anger.

The Social Democrats are celebrating May Day with speeches and, in most cases, demonstration marches in 13 of Dalarna's municipalities. In Smedjebacken, 33-year-old Matilda Kilström is speaking at Vasatorget in the town center.

Kilström says her anger over the Sweden Democrats' entry into parliament prompted her to join the Social Democrats. “The engagement became a way to channel my anger,” she states, as reported by Dala-Demokraten.

Birgitta Wiberg covers the event. The celebration marks the party's traditional activities on the labor movement's holiday.

Liberal leader Simona Mohamsson has narrowly defended her controversial cooperation deal with the Sweden Democrats, Sverigelöftet, at an extraordinary party congress, winning renewed confidence by 95-82 amid resignations and youth wing threats to boycott the election campaign.

Sweden Democrats recalled two paired MPs during a vote last week. This disrupted the pairing system and drew criticism from other parties.
