Swedish MP Daniel Lönn from the Sweden Democrats has resigned from all political roles following a series of controversies.

The decision comes after the party initiated an investigation into Lönn, who was filmed making offensive remarks after being detained in a drunk tank.

Additionally, reports surfaced of Lönn liking antisemitic posts and following accounts linked to known Nazis on social media.

In a Facebook post, Lönn denied being antisemitic but stated that recent media scrutiny led to his resignation.

The incident has sparked discussions about accountability and conduct among public officials in Sweden.
