Former justice minister Thomas Bodström has roundly criticised his party the Social Democrats, arguing that the Omar Mustafa affair was handled poorly and that the party is outdated and undemocratic.
"Once again the Social Democratic Party has managed to back itself into a corner... Had it been handled correctly from the beginning it needn't have been damaging, but instead led to an exciting and very necessary debate," Bodström wrote in the Svenska Dagbladet daily on Saturday.
The former minister argued that one reason for the party's current plight is its introversion.
