Earlier this week, Martin Tøttrup Kelkelund announced that he was leaving the party in favor of SF.
Next, Erik Kyed Trolle announced that he was giving up being a freelancer to return to the party with an absolute majority in the city council group.
On Sunday, the turmoil continues with the news that the city council’s youngest member, 36-year-old Tina Kruckow, has chosen to leave the Social Democrats and join SF.
This is written by Kanal Frederikshavn.
According to the media, the change is due to a poor working environment in the Social Democratic Party’s city council group.
Tina Kruckow, who was elected to the city council in 2021, lost an election earlier this year to become the party’s leading candidate in the municipal elections next year. She explains that she has experienced a culture characterized by a lack of cooperation and a harsh tone, which does not agree with her values.
– I believe that politics must be based on a respectful dialogue and a common will to find solutions, she says to Kanal Frederikshavn.
Tina Kruckow cites the harbor case as an example that has reinforced her decision to change parties. She has experienced personal attacks, but emphasizes that she would rather look forward and work for the values she believes in.
The now former Social Democrat compares the current culture in the Social Democracy with the controlling structures she knows from growing up in a religious society. She emphasizes that freedom and integrity are crucial values for her, and she does not want to compromise on these.
Tinas Kruckow emphasizes that the defeat of Anders Brandt Sørensen in the battle to become the party’s mayoral candidate is not the reason for her change.
She points to a general culture with limited cooperation and freedom as the primary reason why she now wants to continue her political work in SF.
With the arrival of first Martin Tøttrup Kelkelund and Tina Kruckow, SF’s city council group has grown from one to three members in the past week.
