Nyköping - Ulrick Brandt attended a local initiative of NPA volunteers to set up free educational support in a poor neighbourhood in Lillehem where children have only access to low-quality public schools. At the occasion, journalists asked Brandt about his response to the words of Kasper Jansen - who accused the NPA of being ''corporate whores''. Brandt took his opportunity to explain the ''dark nature'' of the NMP.
''The NMP, and Kasper Jansen above all, is a typical phenomenon of this age. He has his mouth full of the working classes, but he's never even met anyone who is 'working class'. Jansen is part of the 5% of our society. He belongs to an elite that tries to shape people's views, that tries to control what their values should be, and how they ought to think and vote. This elite consists of a group of privileged people, who grew up with similar backgrounds, had similar education, became part of the social elite, and they derive their ideas about the World from the media, operated by journalists with exactly the same backgrounds. The NMP is part of an elite culture that dominates our society in every possible way. So when Jansen speaks of what the ''working class'' wants, he actually means what he says the working class must want... Through the media, he tries to impose on people what their needs are, so that he can then promise them the cure, if they vote for him. Its a confidence trick. Fraud. Manipulation. Instead of listening to the many different voices of the people, the NMP forces voters into a category of 'working class', tells them what to think, so they can tell them how to vote. The goal is power. It's about controlling the masses. This is what the 5% wants. But this is not how the world works anymore. People don't want to be controlled anymore, because they know, the elite is not serving them.''
''The NMP is producing a narrative in which they try to construct an alliance between them and what they call the working class. By definition, they thus assert themselves as political leaders, who happen to posess the glorious wisdom of what is good for their followers. This is exactly the point. They want followers. Because if they have followers, they can develop more power, and consolidate the position of the elite. This is the main difference between the NPA and the NMP. The NMP is seeking to control people, through a discourse presenting the NMP as the heroic rescuers of a helpless Working class. The NPA is entirely uninterested in power. The NPA wants to listen to the voices of the people, learn from them, and cooperate with them.''
''Our world is dominated by 10% of the people. Or I would rather say that 90% of the people in our world, are invisible. They are not heard, they are not represented, they live segregated from the 10%, and they have no power over their lives. The NMP wants to reinforce that division in our society, by imposing a uniform religious set of values, by annihilating difference, rejecting pluralism, and their tool is the political narrative in which they claim to stand up for the 90%, while actually they are hijacking the voice of those 90%. The NPA wants to give that 90% a voice. The NMP is overscreaming it so it cannot be heard.''
Brandt had to laugh when asked about Jansen's accusations of corporate links. ''I believe Jansen has already reached the point where he is simply making stuff up. Do you think any corporation lets our activists inside their expensive offices to begin with? The moment we show up they shut their doors because they know we're coming for a Sit-in or a protest!''
