Bevara Sverige Svenskt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bevara Sverige Svenskt (BSS), which in English basically means "Preserve Sweden Swedish", was a Swedish nationalist political movement. Its stated objective was to initiate a debate in order to reduce immigration from non-European countries and repatriate non-ethnic Swedes.

Founded in 1979, BSS was at first involved in abortive election co-operation with the Sweden Party (Swedish: Sverigepartiet). In 1986 it joined with the populist Progress Party (Swedish: Framstegspartiet), which later evolved into the Sweden Democrats (Swedish: Sverigedemokraterna). Although its membership was always quite small, BSS represented the first organized attempt to reduce immigration and as a result received massive media attention.

Claiming not to be racists, their often aggressive sticker campaigns arguably spoke a different language with slogans such as "don't let your daughter become a negro toy" ("låt inte din dotter bli en negerleksak") and "negroes threaten their victims" ("negrer hotar sina offer").^[1]
