– I think it’s good. I am in no way biased. I do not think that what I do and say clashes with public service, says comedian and SvD columnist.
It was in February that the Swedish Radio decided to Soran Ismail would not be heard in “Morgonpasset,” where he is assistant once a week, until the parliamentary elections in September. The reason was that he was considered too take a clear stand against the Sweden Democrats.
The decision led to strong criticism. Many commentators pointed out that SR has as part of its mission to take away from xenophobia, and said that Soran Ismail is committed against racism, not specifically against SD. Others defended petningen and pointed to the importance of public service media cherish their impartiality.
But this time, after discussions with the SR’s Cultural Affairs Mattias Hermansson, get Soran Ismail therefore continue its mission even until the next new election.
– For me it has been obvious that I should continue. After everything that happened, I have thought some about it here and I really can not see why I could not be with the “Morgonpasset” said Soran Ismail told SvD.
Before the parliamentary elections held SR you were too critical of the Sweden Democrats. In what way is it different now?
– You’ll have to Swedish radio on. But this time the discussions were a little different, the last time we were not unanimous and it was not very clear what mattered. When I agreed to take a break. Now I said I did not want it.
Have you received any restrictions on what you can or can not say and do?
– No, nothing other than that which always comes at Sveriges Radio, for all employees.
