Swedish MP David Lång, a member of the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, has resigned his mandate after singing “Foreigners out” at an EU election party. The party announced this on Monday, according to the news agency TT. Recently, there have been repeated incidents in which racist slogans were sung to the Eurodance song by Gigi D’Agostino. In Germany, a video caused a stir, showing young people in a bar on the island of Sylt chanting “Germany for the Germans, foreigners out” to the song.
In the audio recording from the Sweden Democrats’ election party after the EU elections, “L’amour toujours” can be heard in the background while an Expressen reporter interviews a member of the party. The interview is interrupted by David Lång singing “Foreigners out, foreigners out”. Lång can then be heard saying “Oh shit” and asking if the reporter recorded it. According to a statement from the party, Linda Lindberg had asked Lång to resign after hearing about his actions. He said he had heard the song on social media and was sorry if he had offended anyone.
