Around 70 neo-Nazis from Aktivklubb Sverige marched through central Stockholm on Saturday evening, drawing fierce condemnation from politicians. Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer described the views as utterly detestable and stressed the need to push back against violent extremism. Opposition leaders called the event deeply un-Swedish.
On the evening of Saturday, November 29, 2025, around 70 members of the violent neo-Nazi group Aktivklubb Sverige held a demonstration march through central Stockholm. The event was not permitted, but police monitored it without any disturbances occurring. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as 'Sweden for the Swedes' and 'hail victory'.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) responded strongly: 'The government views all forms of violent extremism very seriously, especially that cultivated in right-wing extremist environments. These are utterly detestable views, and groups that often serve as platforms for radicalization and violence.' He understands that the manifestation provokes particularly strong reactions among people with foreign backgrounds and emphasized: 'Having to look over your shoulder in fear of hate, threats, or violence just because you have dark hair or dark skin – we simply do not want such a society, and therefore the hateful and violent extremists must be pushed back.'
Strömmer also noted that the government is working to criminalize participation in criminal networks, which could affect organizations like Aktivklubb. He criticized the Social Democrats for blocking a previous constitutional amendment.
The opposition reacted just as forcefully. S leader Magdalena Andersson told Expressen: 'They stand and shout and chant about Sweden, but scaring people with political violence is un-Swedish. Deeply un-Swedish.' C leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist wrote: 'Nazis on our streets are a brutal reminder of history's darkness and must never be normalized.'
S legal policy spokesperson Teresa Carvalho called for collaboration: 'Gunnar Strömmer must stop shifting blame and start working to ban these new Nazi Aktivklubbar.' Aid Minister Benjamin Dousa (M) added: 'Nazi hooligans have no place in Sweden' and warned of the risk of new 'laser men'. Green Party's Amanda Lind called it 'horrifying to see racism and Nazism openly on our streets' and stressed the need to defend democracy.
