> far-right Sweden Democrats

Yeah, what a shit website politico is. If they were to exist in american politics, people would call them leftist extremists. But just because they want to be tougher on immigration they are far right, nazis etc.

I honestly hate modern media with a passion and I assume everything else in the article is as false as that very first statement.

They call the themselves nationalist, the party was born out of old nazi parties and many of their prominent members express deeply racists in miscellaneous web forum. I think this is more than enough evidence to call them far right. Just because you don’t agree with reality it doesn’t mean that it is biased.

Regardless of whether or not you support Sverigedemokraterna, they are widely considered to be right-wing or far-right [1]. Politico is not taking any stance or making any kind of statement by labelling them as such.
