"In the far south of the country, where the refugees are concentrated, there
is also a fair amount of anti-immigrant sentiment. The elections later this
year may well see the Sweden Democrats, a xenophobic and populist party,
enter parliament for the first time, and they are already quite important in
local politics. Larsson spent almost his entire working life combating such
groups, and it is a remarkable fact that Sweden has not had any in parliament
before now, while both Denmark and Norway, with much lower levels of
immigration, have. But there are some real tensions under the surface."
