Disinfo: Swedes will be deported from Sweden

Summary

The Arab Party of Sweden calls for the deportation of the aboriginal population of Sweden, who has a critical view on migrants and the ideas of “diversity”. This refers primarily to Swedish pensioneers.

Disproof

An unfounded claim, presented without any source, and a recurrent narrative of Sweden as a country on the verge of collapse. Similar cases can be found here.

An "Arab Party" did actually appear in Sweden in the summer of 2020; with currently around 400 followers on Facebook. According to research done by Swedish fact-checking group Källkritikbyrån, the “party” likely consists of one single individual.
