Charlie Weimers, the Sweden Democrats' top candidate for the upcoming EU elections, stirred controversy with his speech at the party's campaign kickoff, where he claimed immigration from Islamic countries is fundamentally altering Sweden's social fabric.

Weimers, known for his strong stance on immigration, suggested that cities like Malmö could become majority-Muslim within our lifetimes.

His remarks, which include references to a "folk exchange" and the Islamization of Europe, have been criticized as right-wing conspiracy theories.

Despite this, Weimers expressed hope for new alliances in the EU Parliament, aiming to influence negotiations with major party groups for stricter migration policies.

The Sweden Democrats, gaining a central role in Swedish politics through the Tidö Agreement, seek to expand their influence in Brussels.
