    Mullvad co-CEO Fredrik Strömberg confirmed that neither Mullvad VPN AB, its parent company Amagicom AB, nor its sister company Tillitis AB played any role in supporting the political party.

    It doesn’t matter if the company itself was directly involved or not, the money came from the company, and from its’ customers.

    Saying he ‘made a donation’ is downplaying his role. It makes it sound like he’s just some guy doing what everyone else does to participate in politics…

    The 2025 donation accounted for 72% of the party’s total income last year. … According to data collected by DonationWatch, 2025 was the most lucrative year in the party’s history, netting a total of 5.58 million SEK. For comparison, the party received just 202,000 SEK in total donations throughout 2024.

    Just the annual interest on his donation is more that all of their other donations for the entire year combined.

    He didn’t just make a donation, he is practically their sole source of financing.

    Just when you think you find good companies to support they end up being run by shitbags.

      I highly doubt you’ll find any company composed solely of people that support ideologies you agree with. I know that sounds flippant and dismissive but ultimately we should support the best options we have. Or I guess you can roll your own solution and trust that you have the skills to stay ahead of the opposition.

    Örebro Party looks more Marxist then right wing to me. Also it’s founder, Markus Allard, was expelled from the Left Party. Due to him liked a Far-Left antifascist organization called Revolutionary Front. The only right wing thing about them is they being for remigration policies. Otherwise it’s Marxist and left as hell.
