Also there was an article written by a seemingly reputable outlet, so yeah I'll choose to believe them. And there's also the fact that the CEO denied nothing. You would think he would clarify the party's stance once the backlash started coming, if everyone were wrong.

    Well you should not believe everything you read in articles. Even reputable outlets will be wrong when they write about something outside of their area of expertise. I think most people in here will just read the headline and some comments saying "far-right!" and believe that is true. Go to the Wikipedia pages for the Örebro Party and read them. I'll link both the Swedish and English pages for you so you can compare them. I'll also link to their own website, it is only in Swedish so you'll have to translate it yourself. But you'll see that nothing is out of the ordinary and the whole thing is blown out of proportions.

    Would you like to elaborate? There's is nothing wrong with not liking it, but that does not put the party into some far-right category that people seem to be making up.

    You think advocating for large-scale forced displacement of non-white citizens does not put the party into a far-right category? I feel like you're the one who'd need to elaborate.

    I want to make the point that it doesn’t have anything to do with skin color, that is a made up thing by people who don’t like it. Coming to Sweden and getting to stay is not a human right. That applies to everybody no matter where you’re from. So no, I do not think wanting people to remigrate makes the party far-right.
