In a significant political shift, four former members of the Christian Democrats (KD) in Blekinge have announced the formation of a new political party called Transparens. This development is expected to resonate with voters who feel disillusioned with the current political landscape. The party's founding figures include chairman Kristoffer Fridlund, vice-chairman Ana Pezo, and members Per-Martin Sternevi and Bengt Johansson.
The launch of Transparens comes amidst concerns regarding a prevailing culture of silence in politics, particularly within KD, which these politicians claim has exacerbated distrust among the electorate. "We want to restore confidence in politics," Fridlund conveyed, underscoring the party's commitment to transparency and accountability.
Ana Pezo, who left KD voluntarily, described the motivations behind producing a new political entity driven by principles that prioritize openness. Meanwhile, Fridlund, Sternevi, and Johansson faced expulsion from KD due to internal conflicts, which has further fueled their determination to create a party that offers alternatives to the status quo.
The initiative appears to be a direct response to voters' increasing discontent with established political practices in the region. With the establishment of Transparens, these former KD politicians aim to foster renewed trust and engagement among constituents disillusioned by existing party dynamics in Blekinge, suggesting a potential shift in the political landscape going forward.
