Swedish city Borås cancels own commercial – features Swedes

Population replacement in the West

It is very problematic that only Swedes appear in films, according to the municipality and the media.

The city of Borås’ commercial shows far too many Swedes, according to the local Gota Media newspaper Borås tidning. The municipality of Borås agrees and has taken down the film to be replaced by a new version with more people of non-European origin.

The story is now attracting international attention as an example of the exceptional political correctness that still characterizes Sweden.

The commercial was produced by the municipal company Borås TME with the aim of promoting the city. Images and short clips from different parts of the city are interspersed with sequences of people bathing and walking in what appears to be a fairly typical and uncontroversial Swedish ‘municipal film’. However, the film is heavily attacked by local media who believe that too many people in the film are Swedish.

The criticism we have received is that the film does not correspond to the diversity we have in Borås and we will rework the film, Alexandra Pérez Liberg, the newly appointed marketing manager at Borås TME, promises Göteborgs-Posten.

It was the Gota Media newspaper Borås Tidning that first “discovered” and problematized the absence of people of non-European origin in the film. They quickly contacted those responsible to “put them on the spot” and the film was soon taken down. Those responsible have now apologized and promised a “much greater focus on diversity” in the future.

According to Borås TME’s former CEO Helena Alcenius, it was already clear that the “lost diversity perspective” would be corrected by the summer – but after the mass media campaign, the original film was immediately removed. She also regrets that a commercial that does not show people with a skin color other than white was allowed through – but points out that the film does feature two men holding hands.

Lisa Höglund from the advertising agency Brainforest, who helped produce the film, also agrees that it is positive that the commercial is being taken down – because it was going to be “updated” with more people with darker skin anyway.

The fact that a Swedish city is deleting its own commercial because it is seen by too many Swedes is causing both amusement and more serious criticism on social and international media.

 

One wonders whether the newspaper would have complained if the film had shown no white people at all, asks British political commentator Paul Joseph Watson, suggesting that such a film would have been seen as a prime example of “diversity and inclusion”.

Watson further notes that one third of the population of Borås has a foreign background and is an example of the extreme demographic change that mass immigration has created in Sweden in recent decades.

32 percent of the population in Borås has a foreign background, which is typical of Sweden, which has embraced mass immigration to such an extent that ethnic Swedes will be a minority in their own country by 2050, Watson adds.

Orbán: EU leaders want to replace the people of Europe

Orbán with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

At the opening of CPAC Hungary 2025 in Budapest, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán launched his vision for “making Europe great again”. With a four-point “patriot plan”, he wants to restore peace, sovereignty, freedom, and security in Europe.

Orbán also pointed out that an organized and systematic population replacement is underway in Europe and that Europeans today have become strangers in their own cities and communities.

CPAC Hungary is the Central European edition of the American Conservative Political Action Conference, where right-wing politicians, strategists, and opinion leaders gather.

– This is not a gathering of the defeated, but of those who have endured, Orbán said, praising leaders who, according to him, have withstood political storms and directing harsh criticism at liberal and socialist politicians, whom he accused of weakness:

– They cry at the first sign of criticism and hide behind progressive journalists

“Stolen the European dream”

Orbán contrasted his vision with what he called a liberal plan for a post-Christian, post-national Europe, characterized by war, mass migration, and increased central control.

– Brussels has stolen the European dream, he warned, accusing the EU’s left-wing elite of replacing national identity with bureaucratic control.

Orbán’s program is based on four fundamental principles:

  • Peace: “We don’t want the Eastern front”, he said, rejecting Ukraine’s EU membership.
  • Sovereignty: Hungary opposes joint debt and the financing of wars in other countries.
  • Freedom: Political freedom and freedom of expression must be restored.
  • Security: Europe must be protected from mass migration and Europeans must take back their neighborhoods.

“They have destroyed our future”

He also emphasized the importance of local political victories:

– Everyone must return home and win their own battles, he said, highlighting Poland’s upcoming elections as a key issue for Europe’s patriotic movements.

According to the Hungarian leader, the people of Europe dreamed of unity and peace, of a continent where citizens lived in prosperity and security and cooperated with each other – instead of viewing each other as enemies. But today, the grim reality is very different.

– They have destroyed our future. Instead of the European dream, we are receiving a nightmare. Europeans no longer feel safe in their own countries, Orbán stated.

Not in their own cities. Not on their own streets. They have become strangers in places where, twenty years ago, they felt at home. It’s simple math – their cities are being taken away from them. This is not integration – it is an organized population replacement, he continued.

“Led by lightweights”

The prime minister also pointed out how European companies are going bankrupt, how electricity and gas are becoming more expensive, and how the green transition is killing Europe’s economies.

It’s slowly becoming a parody, and now, when we should be negotiating trade and tariffs with a heavyweight US president, it turns out that we are led by lightweights”.

Orbán also praised Donald Trump’s return to the White House, which he called “the greatest comeback in the Western world”, and described Trump’s policies as a “truth serum” for peace and stability.

Among other political role models, he mentioned Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who, according to Orbán, “was shot five times and still returned as if nothing had happened”, as well as Andrej Babiš (Czech Republic) and Santiago Abascal (Spain).

“Following our own path”

He also repeatedly criticized the EU political establishment in Brussels, which he accused of wanting to silence dissent.

– The left does not want debate – they want submission, Orbán continued.

The Hungarian leader’s final message was clear:

– The liberal plan leads to a centralized, indebted, war-driven Europe.But Hungarians are a free people – we were born to follow our own
path.

Orbán concluded with a call to Europe’s patriots to take back their continent.

Thousands of Irish protested against the population replacement policy

Population replacement in the West

Published 1 May 2025

Many Irish people believe that politicians have ruined the country and must be replaced for change to be achieved.

On Saturday, tens of thousands of people gathered in Dublin to honor historic freedom fighters and protest against the ruling political elite and the policies of population replacement that many believe have destroyed Ireland.

A major draw was the outspoken MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who warned that the Irish people are becoming a minority in their own country.

The event was described as a tribute to the 1916 Easter Rising – an attempt to break free from British rule, but which was brutally crushed by the British army and led to the imprisonment and execution of a number of separatists.

According to the organizers, the main purpose of the weekend’s national demonstration was to honor “those who fought and gave their lives to preserve the Irish nation and create the Irish Republic“.

However, it was clear that those gathered did not just want to honor historical heroes – they also wanted to clearly express their dissatisfaction with today’s Irish politicians and how they are treating their own people. Many of the participants carried Irish flags and signs with messages such as “Irish Lives Matter” and “Ireland is Full” – or caps with the text “Make Ireland Great Again.”

Exactly how many people took part in the protests depends on who you ask. Left-wing liberal media reported “thousands” of national demonstrators, while others estimated that over 100,000 people were present.

“Together we rise”

Although he was not part of the organizing group, UFC star Conor McGregor was instrumental in getting so many Irish people to join the protests. In several social media posts that received millions of views, he urged everyone who could to join in and emphasized the importance of remembering history.

– Over 100 years ago, our brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live free today. So let us remind ourselves why we are here. And also why we are not here, McGregor proclaimed in a widely shared video clip.

– We are not here to build hatred amongst each other. We are not here to sow division. We are here to commemorate the valiant heroes who went before us. We honor their spirit, we honor their fight, he continued.

McGregor believes that the country’s government has failed in most of its endeavors and must be replaced—and that it is therefore necessary for the people to express their dissatisfaction.

– Be respectful, be proud, be united.Because together, we will be heard, and as one, we will be victorious in our mission… Together we rise, together we win. God bless us all and God bless Ireland.

“Spreading destruction in the country”

Despite the presence of a small group of counter-demonstrators, the demonstration is said to have proceeded relatively peacefully, with many children, women, and elderly people also taking part. A selection of photos and video clips from the day can be seen below:

As a curiosity, it is also worth mentioning that Conor McGregor has said that he is considering running in the fall presidential election and although political opponents and some analysts have dismissed his chances, he is immensely popular in many quarters.

On several occasions, he has launched harsh attacks against the Irish government and its mass immigration policy, which he believes has been imposed on the Irish people against their will.

– The illegal immigration racket is running ravage on the country, he declared at a press conference in the US, stating that “Ireland is at the cusp of potentially losing its Irishness”.

Sweden’s increased repatriation grant deemed insufficient by Somalis

Population replacement in the West

Published 30 April 2025

In order for the grants to attract Somalis to leave the country, they must be able to "lay the foundations for a long-term livelihood", it is argued.

SEK 600,000 (€55,000) in repatriation aid for voluntarily leaving the country is far too low an amount for many of the country’s Somalis. That is the assessment made by the chairman of the Somaliland National Association after speaking with its members about the matter.

Already last autumn, the Moderate-led government declared its intention to significantly increase the financial support for migrants who voluntarily return to their home countries – from SEK 10,000 (€900) to 350,000 (€32,000).

Further details have now been presented, including that a couple can receive up to half a million SEK to leave Sweden, and that families can be granted even higher tax-funded sums than that – up to SEK 600,000 (€55,000).

– Voluntary repatriation creates opportunities for individuals to make a new start in life and can lead to economic and labor force growth in another country, argues Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) in a press release.

“Long-term livelihood”

To prevent abuse, the idea is that those who accept the aid but then remain hidden in Sweden or later return could be required to repay the money.

Despite the significant increase in the aid amount, it is still expected to have limited impact. The Somaliland National Association has asked its members about the issue and concluded that the willingness to voluntarily leave Sweden remains very low and that this is due to purely economic reasons.

– I don’t think 600,000 for an entire family is enough of an incentive. Most of those we interviewed mentioned significantly higher amounts in order to be able to lay the foundations for a long-term livelihood, says chairman Mustafa Ismail.

Want to see focus on education

The Somali interest group also does not think it is a good idea to pay out the money as a lump sum as long as the migrants who leave the country are not also given help to start their own businesses in their home countries.

– Instead of giving money to individuals, we should look at investing in entrepreneurship, Ismail continues, calling on the Swedish government to focus on developing training programs in professions and industries that are considered necessary in Somaliland.

Ismail also emphasizes that comprehensive voluntary repatriation can only take place if the process is carefully coordinated with the country that will receive the migrants.

Somaliland is a self-proclaimed republic in north-western Somalia with its own government, currency and security force that has operated as a de facto independent state since 1991, but lacks international recognition.

The majority of the population of Somaliland belongs to the Isaaq, Gadabuursi and Dhulbahante Somali clans and the different clans are often in complex and protracted conflicts with each other or other clans in Somalia.

The conflicts are usually about power, natural resources and influence, and about different clans claiming historical rights to specific areas that are currently controlled by other family networks - in principle, however, all are ethnic Somalis and share the same language, religion, culture and historical origins.

Fewer Swedish women want to have children: “A societal change”

Population replacement in the West

Published 15 April 2025

Birth rates across the Western world are at alarming levels

One in four young women now say they are unwilling or reluctant to have children in the future, while birth rates are at historically low levels.

Midwife and professor Tanja Tydén points out that there are things that society can do to try to get the birth rate going again, if only the political will exists.

The Nordic Times has previously highlighted the study from Uppsala University, which shows that only 75 percent of young women in Sweden today say they want to have children a sharp decline from 91 percent just ten years ago.

Of those who answered why they did not want children, most said they simply had no desire to become parents. Health reasons were the second most common reason and the third most common was that they valued their freedom more than having children. Economic reasons came fourth and the fifth most common reason given by women was concern about alleged climate change and overpopulation.

– It’s a societal change… There are far more people now than before who do not want to have children. A quarter of women say they are hesitant or don’t want to, explains Tanja Tydén, a midwife and professor at the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health at Uppsala University.

“Some are afraid of the climate threat”

She points out that only in the last decade has there been a sharp decline in the proportion of women who want to have children, and that there are several different explanations for why family formation is less popular today.

– Some say they simply don’t want children, others say they value their freedom, and some say they fear the threat of climate change.

– One group has said that the economy is driving this, she continues.

Although some of the factors are difficult to change politically, she points out that society and politicians can actually create incentives to increase childbearing for example, by making parental benefits more favorable for certain groups.

– When it comes to an issue like the economy. If you have studied for a long time and become pregnant at the end of your studies, you receive the absolute lowest parental benefit. Society has the opportunity to make a change here.

Same trend throughout the Western world

Last year, Statistics Sweden noted that the number of children born per woman in Sweden had fallen to 1.43 the lowest figure ever recorded in the country. In order to avoid a negative population trend, an average of around 2.1 children per woman is needed.

Instead of focusing on increasing birth rates, both center-right and center-left governments in Sweden have over the past decades prioritized immigration from the third world resulting in population growth despite declining native birth rates.

Sweden is not unique either with the same trend visible across the Western world, and in the EU as a whole, the birth rate in 2023 stood at 1.38 children per woman and significantly lower than that in countries like Spain, Italy and Poland.
