Bevara Sverige Svenskt was a far-right, nativist organisation based in Stockholm, Sweden and the precursor of the current Sweden Democrats political party; it also remains a slogan used by various Swedish nationalist parties. The stated objective of the BSS movement, and the aim of the slogan, was to initiate a debate in order to stop immigration by non-Europeans and repatriate non-ethnic Swedes. Inspiration came from the post-World War II fascist organisation Nysvenska Rörelsen created by Per Engdahl. The group was often violent.
EuroNat was an organisation of European ultranationalist political parties, formed initially at the congress of the French National Front (FN) in Strasbourg on 30 March 1997.
