Mullvad controversy (self.privacy)
submitted 2 days ago by SomeOne to c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Could someone fully explain the mullvad controversy. From my knowledge so far it seems like the cofounder donated to an alt right party and it's probably a bad sign for the company. Anything I'm missing?

" The party has been variously characterised as left-wing and right-wing, as well as populist, nationalist and conservative."

"Leaving the EU and NATO were on the table for ÖP. Regarding NATO Allard claimed that Sweden cannot trust or rely on NATO and that the country should instead seek to massively increase its weapons production and also become a major arms exporter, arguing it would benefit the Swedish economy"

"The party advocates for remigration policies, strong secularism, and assimilationist policies such as immediate closure of the Islamic charter schools.[70][71][72] Markus Allard initiated heavy debate in 2025 by claiming that Sweden is "the land for/belongs to the Swedes"

They also want to remove fuel taxation, they are pro nuclear, and are anti wind turbine.
