A Liberal Party candidate in Kronoberg, Sweden, is facing calls to withdraw his candidacy following revelations about online posts. Ulf Erlingsson, fifth on the party’s list for the national parliament, reportedly posed with what appears to be an automatic weapon. He has also publicly claimed that Swedish police are infiltrated by an organization controlled by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Liberal Party is now requesting Erlingsson reconsider his run for office. These statements and the accompanying imagery have prompted concern within the party. The revelations were initially reported by P4 Kronoberg, a local radio station. The party has not specified potential consequences if Erlingsson refuses to withdraw.
