In Stockholm, Sweden, a far-right group held a demonstration calling for Muslims to be expelled from the country. The group, which gathered in Odenplan and marched toward Segelstorg Square, chanted slogans such as “We don’t want Muslims in our country” and demanded a ban on Islam in Sweden.

Meanwhile, the Stockholm Antifascist Association organized a counter-protest against racism and discrimination in the same area. Activists at the counter-protest held signs and chanted slogans like “No to Racism on Our Streets,” “There Are No Illegal People,” and “Everyone Has the Right to Live in Sweden.”

There was occasional tension between the two groups, but police intervention prevented any major incidents.
