Recently, the leader of the Sweden Democrats, Jimmi Åkesson, married Matilda Karnerup in his hometown of Solvesburg, in large celebrations attended by 500 guests. One of the guests was Robert Hedarffpresident of the Comanches MC motorcycle club, which police in Sweden consider a criminal network. Or this is a gang of criminals.
If there is anything that has troubled Sweden in recent years, it is precisely the criminal gangs. Many of them come from migrant clans, who shoot at each other or bomb each other's homes as part of the struggle for drug markets. But it's also nice to have local white criminals with long beards, beer bellies and powerful motorcycles.
Many MC gangs are at least as criminal as immigrant criminal gangs, although in recent years motorcycle gangs have lost a significant portion of their market position. However, the police did not like what they saw at Jimmy Acheson's wedding:
– I think it's controversial. As if there should be a Hells Angels or Bandidos boss there, says Patrick Anderson of the police in Malmö.
He is accompanied by Police Chief Mats Carlsson. to Express He says:
– It is disturbing that the gang leader communicates with political leaders, regardless of whether it is intentional or not.

Opposition to immigration
For many years, the Sweden Democrats have received very high levels of support in elections in Sweden, mainly due to their opposition to the Swedes' headless immigration policy. This has now been completely reversed by a bourgeois government with the parliamentary support of the Sweden Democrats.
Naturally, the violent crime driven by clan-based immigrant gangs increased the population's opposition to further immigration. Which led to voters flocking to the Sweden Democrats and other bourgeois parties in the recent elections.
One of the Sweden Democrats' most important issues before the elections was the war against criminal gangs. The party wanted to be tougher on hardliners, and voters believed in them.
After Acheson's wedding, there is reason to doubt. Was it just something they said?
Do prominent members of the Sweden Democrats have a good relationship with gang criminals, as long as they are not immigrants?

He was the MC's conductor at the wedding as a companion of an old friend of Acheson's. The party leader said after the revelation that he “knew the man only superficially.” There is no reason to believe so. For the MC president was previously with the leader of the Sweden Democrats in several parties over the years, he writes Aftonbladet.
-According to his statements, he had nothing to do with the crime, Acheson wrote on X.
Ridiculous statement
It's a ridiculous statement from Jimmy Acheson, and here he sounds like Donald Trump.
The US presidential candidate is an expert at distancing himself even from long-term friends and acquaintances, if they are caught breaking the law. Then suddenly there are people he barely knows.
Now Acheson knows the gang leader “only superficially” and trusts his statement that he is not a criminal. Although the man has been convicted of economic crimes in Sweden and the Comanches MC, especially in Denmark, is known to be an extremely brutal criminal network.
– They and other motorcycle gangs are involved in murder, drug dealing, extortion and the like. They have a reputation for being very criminal, says Steven Larsen Today's news. He is Chairman of the Justice Committee in the Danish Parliament.
In retrospect, it turns out that the leader of the Communist Party, Robert Heydarv, was well known to other leading figures in the party, as well as to the press section of the Sweden Democrats. It then becomes incomprehensible and less credible that Jimmy Acheson would try to wriggle out of his friendship with the man.
The war against criminal gangs must be colorless. A crime is a crime, regardless of the color or origin of the perpetrators.
If the Sweden Democrats are to pursue a credible policy against gang violence in Sweden, they must be equally tough on MC gangs like the Comanches and criminal immigrant gangs like the Foxtrot.
