The National Socialist Front (Swedish: Nationalsocialistisk front, abbreviated NSF) is the largest Neo-Nazi political party in Sweden. The organization was founded in Karlskrona on August 8, 1994. It became a political party on April 20, 1999, the 110th birthday of Adolf Hitler.

[edit] Elections and results

The party ran for the municipal council elections in Karlskrona in 2002, but only attracted 0.5% of the votes which was not sufficient for a mandate.

In 2006 the party entered the elections at a national level. There they gathered 1417 votes, or 0.03% (in order to enter Riksdagen - the national parlament - a party needs at least 4% or roughly 220,000 votes). The party had the most success in Trollhättan, where they received 208 votes or 0.65%, although it wasn't enough to enter the "kommunfullmäktige" (city council). Still, 2006 was their best election year in the party's history.

[edit] Newspaper

Nationalsocialistisk Fronts official newspaper is called Den Svenske Nationalsocialisten ("The Swedish National Socialist"), or the shorter name Den Svenske.
