So this kind of flew under my radar during the hot weekend. It seems that one of the two owners of Mullvad made a € 450K donation to the Örebro party, a populist party with a strong "Sweden for the Swedes" & "we support remigration" sentiment.

I'm a little wary of VPN providers supporting populist orgs, to put it diplomatically. I'm wondering if someone has more clue on this party, and their connection to Berntsson.

Ugh, apparently the founder of Mullvad VPN and Browser, Daniel Berntsson donated Five million kroner to a White Nationalist party in Sweden called, "Örebropartiet".
Apparently they are going to run in a Swedish Election 2026 because of the significant donation in 2025, by Daniel. As they weren't a viable racist party that were peddling remigration (basically ethnic cleansing by forced deportation of those deemed unwanted by white people, normally black, brown, and queer individuals).
If I had known this about Daniel, I'd probably not had renewed for six months of Mullvad VPN. I feel pretty sick about the whole thing now...I honestly don't know what VPN to use now, as Mullvad after my time is up with them. I don't know which I'll choose. Tech founders can't stop being awful people, what's new...
I shared some sources on what I talked about, including the scant English headlines for a Swedish article. This is so cursed.
