Alternatives for Sweden’s party leader Gustav Kasselstrand has been in contact with relatives of Tommie Lindh. One of Tommie’s close friends, together with Tommie’s dad, has started a collection under the name “Together for Tommie!”. All funds raised go in full to Tommy’s sister.
The post goes onto talk about how to raise funds for Lindh’s family, before adding:
Tommie was a young Swede who sympathized with AfS, and he attended the party’s square meeting in Bollnäs, his home municipality, during the Freedom Tour a year ago. In the picture Tommie is seen in the foreground as he listens to Jeff Ahl and Gustav Kasselstrand.
