STOCKHOLM, Sweden A member of Sweden's second-largest opposition party was fired Monday after being accused of spying on the internal Web pages of the governing Social Democrats before this month's national elections.
The Liberal Party said Per Jodenius, 24, who worked as press secretary for its youth organization, admitted to using a stolen password to enter the Social Democrats' internal computer network, which contained strategies, schedules and security information for the ongoing election campaign.
Jodenius was fired Monday after the Social Democrats filed a police complaint about the alleged computer infringement, party officials said.
He was the second campaign worker to be dismissed because of Internet-related violations before the Sept. 17 elections.
In February, a Social Democratic campaigner resigned after acknowledging he had sent e-mails to media slandering Fredrik Reinfeldt, leader of the main opposition Moderate Party, including accusations that Reinfeldt cheated on his taxes and hired illegal workers.
Liberal Party leader Lars Leijonborg said the employee fired Monday had shown a "severe lack of judgment," but that the information he obtained was not used to gain any campaign advantage, newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported on its Web site.
Tommy Ohlstrom, a spokesman for the Social Democrats, said at a news conference that the stolen password had been used 78 times since December 2005.
Opinion polls show the four-party opposition bloc in a dead heat with the Social Democrats and its two left-wing support parties.
