Sweden Democrats Apologize for Past Nazi Links and Antisemitism

The Sweden Democrats, a political party in Sweden, said sorry for their past ties to groups that had Nazi and antisemitic beliefs.

They hired someone to study their history, which revealed that these views were present within the party in the 1980s and 1990s.

This apology is part of the party's effort to appear more acceptable to voters, especially before the next election.

The party originated from organizations with connections to neo-Nazis.

They currently support the government but are not directly involved in the cabinet.

The party hopes to join a future coalition government.
