projectiles against nazis
In Stockholm two Nazi/Nationalist demonstrations took place, first a demo of about 40 sympathisers and members of the party the National Democrats demonstrated without much resistance. However, in the evening the People's Front (a political party that has until recently gone under the name National Socialist Front) , had a demonstration which was met with bottles, flares and fireworks. Some vehicles were attacked, one was set on fire.
The 30t November demonstrations used to be the big show of force for Swedish nazis but in recent years the Salem march has become the main yearly event and has attracted up to 2000 nazis, making it one of the biggest Nazi demonstrations in Europe. The Salem march has been happening every year around the 9th of December since 2001, this year it occurs on the 6/12, and was started as a day of remembrance of the murdered skinhead and nazi sympathiser Daniel Wretström who was killed in a gang fight on the 9th of December 2000. The nazis claim that he was the victim of anti-Swedish violence and multi-cultural society. Every year their march is met by a large anti-fascist mobilisation and are always outnumbered but protected by a huge police force.
