Communist Party of Sweden opposes Nato membership

THE Communist Party of Sweden (SKP) has voiced opposition to membership of the Nato military alliance, describing it as “an imperialist war machine” aimed at the suppression and exploitation of working people.

The party was responding to news that the Scandinavian country is set to abandon decades of neutrality in the wake of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

SKP general secretary Andreas Sorensen said that the conflict has caused a spike in Russophobia and allowed the Swedish bourgeoisie to press the case for Nato membership.
