Sweden’s deputy prime minister, who called the September 11, 2001 attacks “accidents” while defending a colleague who compared Israel to the Nazis, stepped down Monday as co-leader of the Green Party.Asa Romson, who served as environment minister, came under fire last month for her remarks about the terror attacks on New York and Washington.

According to Swedish news site TheLocal, Romson and party co-head Education Minister Gustav Fridolin have been under increasing pressure to bring new blood into the party leadership, in light of a series of scandals and plummeting popularity. Fridolin, however, is expected to stay on as party co-chair.

The crisis began three weeks ago, when Green Party member Mehmet Kaplan resigned as housing minister after the Swedish media reported on his alleged links to extremists in his native Turkey and it emerged that he compared Israel to the Nazis in 2009.
