Swedish People's Party
The Swedish People's Party (Svenska folkpartiet) is a political party in Sweden that primarily represents the interests of the Finnish-speaking minority in the country. Founded in 1906, the party advocates for the rights of this community, promoting bilingualism and cultural preservation. It has historically focused on issues related to education, social welfare, and integration.
The party has undergone several name changes and transformations over the years. In 2000, it rebranded itself as the Swedish People's Party of Finland to better reflect its focus on both Swedish and Finnish-speaking citizens. The party is part of the broader liberal political movement in Sweden, emphasizing individual freedoms and social justice.
