Swedish EXPO magazine, known for its focus on exposing leftwing extremism, became the subject of public and online discussion regarding allegations of propaganda in its recent publications. The debate emerged after the release of a special issue on July 9, which included a 50-page report analyzing far-right movements in Sweden, claiming to document over 200 incidents linked to these groups in the past year. The magazine, funded partially by government grants totaling 5 million kronor annually, has been accused by some commentators of bias, with trending discussions on X suggesting the content may serve a political agenda rather than objective reporting. These claims remain inconclusive, as no official investigations have been launched. The issue sold 10,000 copies within 48 hours, a 30% increase over its average circulation, indicating significant public interest. EXPO’s editorial team, consisting of 15 staff members, defended the report, stating it relied on data from 30 interviews and 100 public records. The magazine’s board scheduled an internal review for July 20 to address the concerns, while maintaining that its mission aligns with promoting transparency. Separately, a related event saw approximately 50 protesters gather outside the magazine’s Stockholm office on July 11, holding signs questioning its funding and editorial stance. No legal actions or official statements from Swedish authorities have been reported as of 10:01 PM CEST on July 13, 2025, leaving the matter open to ongoing public and media scrutiny.
