At the annual meeting of the Moderate Party’s Stockholm Country division, members overwhelmingly voted to in future campaign to close down Swedish state TV broadcaster SVT, the radio broadcaster Sveriges  Radio, and the country’s education channel.

“The Moderate party in the Stockholm region has agreed that public service should not exist any more, that in the long term it should vanish,” Oliver Rykatkin, deputy vice chairman of the Moderate party’s local youth wing, told The Local.

“We want to have as free a media as possible, and we can’t have free media if the media is paid for by the government itself. Then it risks becoming a propaganda machine for the government.”

At the meeting in Nacka Strand outside Stockholm, 109 members voted for the motion and 77 against.
