Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a country in Northern Europe. It is a member of the European Union and may soon become a NATO member.[1] The Swedish government relies on neo-Nazis to remain in power.[2]
History
Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was critical of imperialism and supported anti-colonial movements, was assassinated in 1986.[3]
Politics
The far-right Sweden Democrats party won 5.7% of the vote and 20 seats in the 2010 elections. They ran on a xenophobic, Islamophobic, and anti-immigration platform.[4] In 2022, they became the second-largest party in the country and received 20% of the vote. Former party secretary Björn Söder said he wanted to exclude Jews, Muslims, and indigenous people.[5]
