The production team of TV4's Cold Facts wanted to interview Stefan Gustafsson at the Swedish Evangelical Alliance. When they were turned down, they walked into the office unannounced.
"What’s so difficult to understand and respect about the word NO?" writes Gustavsson on his blog.
Cold Facts is currently working on a comprehensive review of The Salvation Army (operation/activities) in Sweden. In that the army is part of the Swedish Evangelical Alliance Cold Facts wanted to meet Stefan Gustavsson for a TV interview (in addition to seeking interviews with SA leadership in Seden and at The SA’s International HQ, London, England.
But Gustavsson was not interested.
"In this situation we in the SEA (Swedish Evangelical Alliance) had nothing to tell. Who we are, what we believe and stand for, what questions we are pursuing, which campaigns we are supporting ... can (all) be found on our website, " he wrote on his blog.
And he continues:
"No political journalist with self-respect tries to make a scoop of the fact that social democrats (organizations) share an interest in seeking common solutions to societal problems. Everyone with an interest in politics already knows: common anyone who is interested in politics, common solutions are at the heart of socialist thinking.
"I simply find it uninteresting to participate in a program that tries to get to get a scoop of Christians having Christian beliefs!"
Gustavsson says that said he could not bring anything new and therefore he did not want to be interviewed.
Johan Åsard, Managing Editor of Cold Facts, says that work on the program will continue. He had no further comments on the subject matter.
‘But what do you think Stefan Gustavsson would have been able to contribute?’
