Gosh darn it I like and use Mullvad. Here is a translation of the article:
Daniel Berntsson, founder of the IT company Mullvad, is behind a massive donation to the populist Örebro Party, which advocates for “extensive remigration” from Sweden. “It’s sad that it’s necessary,” he tells Flamman.
Five million Swedish kronor. That’s how much the populist Örebro Party received during 2025—from a single person. This is according to the party’s income statement, which Flamman has reviewed.
The person behind the massive donation is Daniel Berntsson, founder and co-owner of the internationally successful IT company Mullvad.
“This is a donation from me personally,” he writes in an email to Flamman.
The company has seen large profits in recent years through the sale of so-called VPN services, which make it possible to browse anonymously. In 2024, the company had a turnover of 314 million kronor.
The five million from Berntsson makes up the majority—a full 72 percent—of the Örebro Party’s income last year. It is also the largest single private donation to a political party in 2025.
My ideal is freedom of movement, but really bad crime, immigration, and integration policies (among other things) have put us in today’s miserable situation.
The money also appears to have been the triggering factor for the party’s announcement that they will run in the general election.
