Katja Nyberg remains in the Justice Committee – refuses to leave

Katja Nyberg, despite being expelled from the Sweden Democrats party, refuses to leave the party's parliamentary group, which means she retains her position in the Justice Committee.

Katja Nyberg has been expelled from the Sweden Democrats (SD) but continues to be part of the party's parliamentary group, a situation that complicates her removal from her position in the Justice Committee. According to Hans Hegeland, a parliamentary advisor, Nyberg cannot be forced out of her committee role since she remains a member of the parliamentary group, despite SD clarifying that she is no longer a member of the party itself. This unique circumstance arises because parliamentary rules dictate that a member must formally request to leave the party group.

The SD press department confirmed Nyberg's expulsion and noted that she has not complied with the party's multiple requests to submit a resignation from the parliamentary group. This has led to confusion regarding her status and authority to represent the party, as she is now viewed as unable to act on behalf of SD while still holding her committee position. The situation highlights the complexities of political party membership and the procedural norms within the Swedish parliament.

Nyberg's situation raises questions about party discipline and the implications of her continued presence in a significant parliamentary role despite not being part of the party anymore. The ongoing developments in her case could affect the dynamics within the SD, especially concerning how the party manages internal conflicts and public representation moving forward.
