Starting tomorrow the nazis in Svenskarnas Parti(SVP) will start a week long tour over south Sweden and next saturday end the tour with a demonstration in central Stockholm. It is an election tour because national elections is in 3 weeks and they are running in 35 municipialites of 290 possible ones. The most any nazi party in Sweden have stood for since the second world war.

Antifascists have started organising the resistance and tomorrow they are visiting Malmö where leading members of SVP stabbed 4 socialists some months ago and 13000 people went out on the streets in reaction. So there will be some action with the aim of stopping the nazis from holding any sort of meeting. The police have already put up containers around the whole area.

On Sunday they are visiting Göteborg who have not had a nazi-meeting in their city for a long long time because the city is very red, the same as Malmö really. Usually they dont visit either Malmö or Göteborg because the workers movement is strong and militant there.

Every day there will be several demonstrations against them, every day there will be antifascist action against them during the whole week.

Next saturday they will have their "big" demonstration in Stockholm and already have nearly 6000 people attended the event on facebook for the antifascist demonstration. The aim is to stop the demonstration.

This week will one of the most important in the antifascist history of Sweden. SVP do have a chance to be the alternative to the Swedendemocrats who are polling at 10% at this moment, if people feel they are not good enough they might start to move towards SVP who is openly a nationalsocialist party. This has already happened as elected politicians for the Swedendemocrats have joined SVP instead.

I will update this thread during the week and if you want to you can come over to Sweden to help out, there will be a lot of action.

What the fuck is going on there? Any Twitter feeds or something we can follow and link too?

#kaempamalmoe is the twitter feed. Huge backslash against the police right now it seems, liberals trying to defend the police togheter with fascists. But it is hard when most of the journalists and pictures so far support the antifascist side of things.

This will be a violent week. Police have set the standards. 5 people are critically injured, 40+ injured in total.

I've heard several reports that a 15-year old had their back broken by the police today.

I am a cynical bastard, and don't usually get agitated. But when I heard about these events tonight, I was literally consumed by rage. These atrocities were committed by the same fucking police district that recently was caught keeping a register of roma people.

Therefore it is not hyperbole in the slightest to say, that today we saw a bunch of fucking racist cops attacking people with extreme and overt violence - to defend the right of (apparently, 6) nazis to spread their hatred unopposed.

There were priests from the swedish lutheran church in that counterdemo, that's how out of control it apparently was. Clearly a reason to hospitalise children, as the riding police did with their mindless charge.

The nazis are at least open with their racism. These cops on the other hand have the stomach to tarnish the beautiful word democracy by claiming their actions are in it's defense.

We don't want this kind of 'democracy'. Frankly they can shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Fuck the police! :mad:

Struggle goes on, no one will suffer any major complications due to injuries, thank God. The level of hate against the police just rose some hundred procent and thousands more radicalised.
Tomorrow 3 more cities, 14.00 they will come to Gothenburg, follow #kaempagbg

No Pasaran!

What's with the meek response of the protesters to police f-ing riding horses through the crowd, twice. :confused:

There was a confrontive "non-violence" tactic announced before to try and block the nazis with the sheer amount of people. The police reacted with huge force against peaceful blockades and people were not prepared.

I think this tactic just died for the rest of the week.

#kaempasthlm for tomorrow. Over 12000 have attended the facebook-event so there will be a lot of people there. There have been a huge debate about the police and about antifascism in general during this week and protests in many cities.

This is the big one.

A lot of police and the nazis could only march about 800 meters in a totally closed of area, about 150 of them maybe.

10000-15000 antifascists, some shorter clashes with police who used some sort of teargas. At least 5 police hurt. In the morning the police raided 2 social centers, found nothing.
