Campaign manager quits SF in protest over handling of #MeToo case

A campaign manager has resigned from Denmark's Socialist People's Party (SF) in protest against the party's management of a #MeToo case involving a former top advisor, Thomas Nystrøm. The resignation highlights ongoing internal turmoil within the party.

The situation culminated at the Folkemødet festival, shortly after it became public that SF party leader Pia Olsen Dyhr had hired a special advisor who had previously been accused of harassing employees within the party. This move has drawn criticism and contributed to the party's internal difficulties.

Reports indicate that the party previously used the same advisor as a consultant for municipal elections even after their dismissal for inappropriate behavior. This has raised questions about the party's vetting processes and its commitment to addressing #MeToo allegations seriously.

The ongoing issues surrounding the #MeToo case and the party's handling of it have led to speculation about SF's political standing, with some suggesting it could become the government's weakest link. The situation continues to unfold, adding to the party's challenges.
