Pia Olsen Dyhr: SF is in a difficult place right now

Pia Olsen Dyhr, the leader of the Socialist People's Party (SF), has acknowledged that the party is currently facing significant challenges. She described the situation as the party being "in a difficult place right now" in a post on SF's member forum on Facebook.

Dyhr's statement comes after Thomas Nystrøm resigned from his position as her special advisor in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior. Nystrøm's departure was prompted by the controversy surrounding his rehiring, which overshadowed the party's work.

det er rimeligt at give vedkommende en ny chance

The controversy stemmed from Nystrøm's previous dismissal from SF in 2020, following accusations of harassment and inappropriate behavior. Lotte Kofoed, an SF councilor, was among those who criticized the rehiring, stating she had been harassed by Nystrøm.

Dyhr had previously defended Nystrøm's appointment, stating that after careful consideration, she believed it was "reasonable to give the person a new chance." She also noted that Nystrøm was employed by the ministry, not directly by the party. In her Facebook post, Dyhr emphasized her desire to assemble "the strongest team" to secure more victories for SF, adding that "strategic advisors like that don't grow on trees."
