One of the most senior figures in the far-right Sweden Democrats has compared the political editor of Sweden's leading left-wing newspaper to Vidkun Quisling, who headed Norway's puppet government during its occupation by Nazi Germany. "If the term 'von Papen' can be used to describe Kristersson, the term 'Quisling' can very well be used to describe Lindberg. However, I do not write that Lindberg is Quisling but a quisling," he wrote. "They all grovel in front of the Islamists whose goal is to take our democracy and our country from us." AdvertisementJimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats, acknowledged that Jomshof had expressed himself provocatively, but accused the opposition parties of feigning their shock.
