Film turns up of far-right Swedes

A SWEDISH far-right party attempting to tone down its hate image has been rocked by a video showing party leaders shouting racist and sexist abuse in a late-night brawl.

The Sweden Democrats won its first parliamentary seats in 2010 on an anti-immigrant ticket and has tried to gain respectability. But a film released by the Expressen newspaper this week, showed its economic and justice spokesmen fighting with a drunk in Stockholm. At one point they pick up metal bars from a building site, which they only drop when sirens are heard.

One of them has quit and the other plans to take “time out.”
