On Thursday, the Sweden Democrats unveiled a comprehensive 900-page 'white book' tracing their history from their inception in 1989 through their parliamentary presence from 2010. The report highlights the party's origins rooted in nationalist and racist movements, particularly revealing that many founding members had ties to the Bevara Sverige Svenskt organization. It details a persistent ethnonationalist ideology characterized by hostility toward perceived enemies, including political opponents and immigrants. Although the party attempted to distance itself from openly racist rhetoric in the 1990s, it maintained connections with right-wing extremist groups and disseminated antisemitic content.
The Sweden Democrats' origins reveal a troubling history tied to right-wing extremism, with many founders linked to racist organizations, indicating a strong ethnonationalist ideology.
The 900-page 'white book' exposes the party’s transformation from its founding connections to racist campaigns and extremist movements to holding a significant parliamentary role.
