– SD has been given this populist label for free by the establishment, but they are not populists, he tells Fria Tider.

The announcement that the Swedendemocratscrats are dropping the requirement for informationduty has caused distress within the SD-related milieu.
The dissatisfaction with the fact that immigration is not decreasing has already been brewing for quite some time, and for some Tuesday's news became the last straw.
Markus Allard runs the Örebro Party, a populist local party in Örebro. But he is perhaps better known as a presenter on Riks, which is the Sweden Democrats' YouTube channel.
On X, Allard announces that he has started a process to transform the Örebro Party into a parliamentary party – then probably under a different name. He urges those who are interested in contributing to this to sign up for membership.
“North Korean level” of the Åkesson worship
The Örebro Party will not allow itself to be suppressed when liberals “from the time island team “lower strata” are holding on and disgusted, if the local politician is to be believed.
To SD-loyal critics who accuse him of obstructing, Markus Allard has the following answer:
“It's damn North Korea level on the idea of applauding these stars who certainly made the best of the best results and it could never have gone better than now because now it's going damn best.”
For Fria Tider admits Markus Allard that there could be problems with his job at Riks if he takes seriously the threat to challenge the party at national level.
– It doesn't have to be a problem, but it could be if Riks is dependent on business partners who demand that I not be there and so on. But that is really a question for Riks.
Long way to go
Allard is careful to underline that the Örebro Party is not yet a national party, but that the goal is to build a family of local parties that can eventually make it to the Riksdag under a common flag. But according to him, there is still a long way to go.
– We have not formed a national party. We are building local parties, and the ambition is of course to one day be able to bet on the Riksdag. When it happens will be determined by how many of us will be in our small local party family, says Markus Allard.
Allard emphasizes that the Örebro Party does not aim to position itself in relation to any specific party, but that the party's political project aims to to distance ourselves from the entire current political system.
“Separates us from the whole eight-leaf clover”
– If there was a national party, purely hypothetically, we wouldn't have just separated us from SD but from the entire eight-leaf clover. We do not define ourselves in relation to a specific party.
When it comes to the Sweden Democrats, Allard points out that there are certain substantive issues where the parties are close to each other, for example in matters relating to immigration and crime. But he points out that the “methodological” differences are large.
– SD buys the entire system logic. You are very keen to be a good brother and not bite back, he says.
Allard mentions several specific examples from local politics in Örebro. Among other things, he points to the handling of Islamist actors in schools and preschools.
– We wanted to introduce a special order to sabotage those types of actors in the event that they would establish themselves, but the SD did not want to do that contribute. They lack the will to get to the bottom of the problems. SD Örebro is clear that I and the Örebro Party are a party that “just shouts” and so on. It is the same way as the other parties.
– They have been given this populist label for free by the establishment, but they are not populists.
“SD wants to be part of the heat – I want to eradicate the klag”
According to Allard, SD is characterized by a willingness to adapt to the establishment rather than challenge it.
– In everything essentially, they want to become part of the heat. They want to be part of the pack. I want to eradicate the complaint, he says.
He also highlights the actions of the Sweden Democrats at the national level and believes that the party does not use its influence fully.
– The Green Party had about four percent of the votes and could persuade the Norwegians to do both. SD has 40 percent of the government's funding. What have they been through? Play with the idea that the MP had that strength in a government foundation.
Representing the productive classes
Allard describes his vision as a “class-conscious populism”. According to him, it is about creating a political movement that safeguards the interests of the productive classes.
– We need a class-conscious populism that builds a political coalition based on the productive classes, i.e. all craftsmen and entrepreneurs who are exploited via the tax bill. It's about pointing the tip at what I call the transferiate – both the upper layers with useless temporary jobs and new parts but also the lower transferiate of benefit migrants.
He describes a vision for a possible national party that advocates strong tax cuts (for the productive ones) and dismantling inefficient structures in the public sector, combined with “substantial investments in the core areas of welfare”. Allard also wants to see a freeze on new citizenships, re-migration and a nationalization of the energy sector to keep costs down. He emphasizes that this is not about slow reforms.
– You can push through laws in a week or so if necessary, he says and criticizes SD for being too loyal to the system.
Markus Allard concludes by underlining that there is a political void in Sweden which he believes the Örebro Party is ready to fill.
– That is where we see our role.
