Moderates Address Staff Singing โ”We Hate Andersson”โข at Campaign Launch
STOCKHOLM โ – The moderate Partyโ isโ addressing an incident at its campaign launch event Monday,where several staff members were heard singing a modified version of the song “Through โfire and water,” replacing a โlyric โwith “andโฃ we hate Andersson,” referring to former โPrime Ministerโฃ Magdalena Andersson.
The incident occurred as the song played during theโข event, which featured Prime Minister Ulf Kristerssonโค presenting the party’sโ new campaign bus and apparel. Parliamentary members Edward Riedl, Ida Drougge, and Douglas Thor were also inโ attendance. The โaltered lyrics echo a recent trend in the footballโข world where fans add lines to โthe song, typically substituting “AIK” for the object of their dislike.
Party โPressโค Manager Amos Friedman swiftly intervened, stating he “made sureโ thay quit” the singing. “Of course, it was an inappropriate behavior,” Friedman said. “In our party we โdeal with this at once, we โคdo not try to sweep things under the rug unlike other parties.”
The Moderates โขplan to discuss the matterโ further with those involved. The incident raises questions aboutโฃ acceptable politicalโค discourse and the tone of campaigning as swedenโ approaches upcoming elections.
