Expo: “Soldiers of Odin spreading racism and xenophobia” – Sveriges Radio

The right-wing vigilantes Soldiers of Odin formed in large parts of the country and who are establishing themselves in Halland does not create security on the streets, but instead spread xenophobia and racism in society. So says the Foundation Expos Jonathan Leman to P4 Halland.

– I think that one should be clear about what they are for NGT and not give them the recognition they want, that is to say that they stand for safety. On the contrary, they are a group that adds to and rides on racism in society and deepens it. It just creates insecurity and problems. They are not safety-enhancing night walkers said Jonathan Leman Expo.

The Expo Foundation has previously examined the right-wing vigilantes and noted that several individuals in the group have been convicted of violent crimes, and that many also expressed sympathy for Nazism. According expo attracts Group to the främligsfientligt and racist Colored people. Expo also says that among extremist groups, the last days have become increasingly common to create ‘vigilante.

– It has become a trend now that it will launch itself as a guarantor of their security team in a kind of resistance to them it does not look like Swedes, says Jonathan Leman.

Mikael Johansson’s spokesperson Soliders of Odin, in Sweden, and he does not agree with the Expos description that they are right-wing.

– The picture is totally misleading, inaccurate and is a pure lie from the Expo site, says Mikael Johansson.

But the network was founded in Finland of a known Nazi, is not it a strong sign of the connection to right-wing extremism?

– It is from the Finnish side, there is nothing I can answer for here in Sweden, says Mikael Johansson.

no connections on the Swedish side to högextrema parties or movements?

– not from Soldiers of Odin’s side, no.

So you were a member of the National Democrats, not true?

– it was I as a private person six years ago, so no, it has no links to the Soldiers of Odin.
