Swedish Gang Culture takes over. Bomb attacks or thrown hand grenades, a previously unknown phenomenon in the Nordic countries, now occur at a rate of over 300 per year in Sweden, a tiny country. Statistics reveal that the idealised image of Sweden is nothing more than a memory. This is according to Torkild Berglund, who moved from violent Sweden to peaceful Costa Rica.

In the early 1970s, the Swedish Parliament made a decision* that would fundamentally shape our society: Sweden would become a multicultural country. What then seemed like an expression of humanism and openness has today developed into one of the greatest political failures of our time, Swedish Gang Culture.
Instead of integration and enriching diversity, we see a society where segregation, clan communities, violent crime, and contempt for politicians are on the rise. And our leaders still seem unable to acknowledge the extent of the problems.
For decades, Sweden’s immigration policy has been among the most generous in Europe. After 2015, Sweden received the most asylum seekers per capita in the EU (1). Statistics show that Sweden currently has approximately 62,000 people with links to criminal networks, 14,000 active (2).
Gun violence and Swedish Gang Culture have exploded: from less than 100 shootings in the early 2000s to over 360 per year and 50-60 deaths (3).
The number of bomb attacks, rape and fatal gun shootings are breaking European records
Bomb attacks or hand grenades, a previously unknown phenomenon in the Nordic countries, now occur at a rate of over 300 per year (4).
Reports of rape have risen from around 6,000 (2014) to over 10,000 (2024) (5).
Only 31% of Swedes today have high or fairly high confidence in political parties, and only 22-24% have confidence in the prime minister (6).
Swedish Gang Culture Rules
Denmark and Finland have fewer shootings per year than Sweden in a week (7). Explosions are virtually non-existent. Fatal shootings in both countries are below 10 per year (8).
Reversing this trend requires more than stricter laws and more police officers. It requires an honest uprising against the consequences of the multicultural project:
- A recognition that integration requires demands, not just rights.
- A halt to new migration until we have managed to deal with the challenges we already face.
- A state that dares to defend its core values: freedom of expression, equality, freedom of religion, even against cultures that challenge them.
