In a decisive membership meeting, the Liberals in Norrtälje have withdrawn from the local coalition with the Sweden Democrats (SD).
This move comes after revelations that SD plans to continue using anonymous troll accounts to discredit political opponents.
Robert Beronius, Liberal group leader, stated that their efforts for a transparent political debate failed.
The coalition, now without the Liberals, faces uncertainty about its future governance.
Norrtälje becomes the first municipality to see its ruling coalition collapse due to such revelations.
