The center-right coalition led by Swedish Prime Minister Frederik Reinfeldt won the election yesterday, but did not reach the absolute majority necessary to form a new government alone. The real novelty of the election is the entrance to Parliament for the first time the extreme right, 'Sweden Democrats' (SD) Jimmie Akesson, who with about 5.7% of the votes exceeded the necessary threshold (4%) to win seats, and I get 20.
Thirty-one years old, dark hair, glasses and clothing fashion. The extreme right in Sweden does not show up under the aggressive form of a blond Viking, but in the shoes of Jimmy Akesson, born in 1979, five years from leading Democrats of Sweden (SD), the far-right party that is prepared to do his entry in the historic Parliament.

Under the laws of 1998, SD had picked up only 0.37% of the votes, then 1, 44% in 2002. But in 2006, under the guidance of Akesson, the extreme right has reached 2.93% and now has passed the 4% threshold needed to win seats in Parliament. With its reassuring look, Akesson has changed the perception that the Swedes had the extreme right, reducing significantly the shadow of the movement Bevara Sverige Svenskt from which the SD came out.
In 1995, fifteen when he entered the party militants were still dressed in Nazi uniform, "Today we are different - he said in a recent interview with the young leaders - and voters see it." But Akesson was born in Solvesborg (southern Sweden) where the municipal council since 1998, has not forgotten the basic themes of his party: immigration, crime and the links between the two. "All immigrants are not criminals, sure, but there is a connection," he said, claiming a "conservative views" and stressing that the policies on immigration and crime are "what makes us different from other parties '.
