Nazi propaganda at Sundsvallsskola - 13-year-old is said to be behind

It was just over a month ago that someone or anyone put up stickers of Nazi propaganda at a school in Sundsvall municipality. This was noticed by a Nazi site, which paid tribute to a 13-year-old who allegedly put up the stickers, something Sundsvalls Tidning was the first to tell.

Annika Backstöm is the social services representative in the working group Against Violent Extremism, which has been around since 2015. According to her, it is not uncommon for right-wing groups to spread labels and put up stickers.

- It is also not uncommon to tell people via websites that they have done this and in what areas they have been and pasted these patches. What is unusual here is that you highlight a person on their website, she says.

Why was it done?

- I think it's a way to interest younger people. That you wanted to highlight a young person and thus reach that more people should join them and this person, but I can only guess in this situation, says Annika Backstrom.

Neither the social service nor the school in question knows if it is a 13-year-old boy, as the site claimed. When SVT talks to the assistant principal at the current school, she says that sticky notes were set up a month ago and that they then reported it to the police, but that they have no information on who it should be at the moment.

- We have talked to educators to listen to students if they have seen or heard something, she says.

- It can be an older person and it can be a recruitment trick to get younger people interested in this organization. But it can also be a very young person who goes their business and that is probably our concern - that you are utilizing young people, concludes Annika Backstrom.
