That article surely is a ride, I mean…
The right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, for which Lundström ran in the 2021 elections, confirmed his death in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Didn’t know he was right-wing.
On Monday, rescue teams discovered parts of the plane inside the cabin but were unable to identify the pilot.
Sounds like a movie plot.
Lundström was the heir to Swedish crisp bread producer Wasabröd.
Heh.
To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn’t fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it’s very dangerous for CFIT incidents.
Given his leading role in AfS (a party to the right of the far-right SD party, whose role in the ecology of the Swedish far right appears to be to be the ideological shock troops who float extreme ideas and see which of those are ready to be laundered into the mainstream by the “respectable”SD), it’s probably safe to say that this guy was a piece of shit.
That’s interesting. Here the AfD just cut the middleman and fulfills both roles.
Unfortunately despite the title, that’s not what they’re known for. Bad person died.
No loss.
