Scania Party

Skånepartiet ("the Scania party") is an autonomist, right-wing populist, regionalist, anti-immigration political party based in the Swedish province of Scania, established in 1979. The founder and leader of the party is Carl P. Herslow. Initially, the party sought to abolish the monopoly of the Swedish state on the radio and television market and to establish self-government for Scania. It originally advocated for full independence for Scania as a republic, but later revised this stance to support devolution within the Swedish state. From the mid-1980s, the party began to criticize Swedish immigration policy and, since the 2000s, has focused extensively on a campaign against Islam. Its support has diminished over the years, culminating in the loss of its last local seats in the 2006 Swedish general election.
