Swedish government suggests banning 'racist and Nazi' groups
The Swedish government is considering legislating against the existence of racist organizations.
Neo-Nazi disturbances at in particular this year's Almedalen political festival in Sweden sparked criticism against among others police for not doing enough to crack down on such groups. Police in turn said that the right to freedom of speech enshrined in Swedish law prevented them from doing much more.
In light of this, Sweden's Social Democrat-Green coalition government is now mulling boosting legislation to ban what Justice Minister Morgan Johansson described as "racist and Nazi" groups in an interview with Swedish radio on Friday.
