Vägen Framåt (Swedish: The Road Forward) was a weekly newspaper published by the New Swedish Movement, a fascist and corporatist nationalist political movement in Sweden founded by Per Engdahl. The paper was in circulation between 1932 and 1992 with some interruptions.

History and profile[edit]

Vägen Framåt was established as a weekly newspaper by the New Swedish Movement in Uppsala in 1932.[1][2] The founding editor was Per Engdahl.[3] The publisher was Riksförbundet Det nya Sverige based in Uppsala.[4] Vägen Framåt was published in Stockholm in the period 1935-1937 and in Malmö from 1942.[4]

Between 1937 and 1940 Vägen Framåt temporarily ceased publication.[4] One of the editors was Yngve Nordberg, a friend of Per Engdahl.[5] The paper frequently published articles by Per Engdahl who praised Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.[6] One of his articles dated 1979 formulated the strategy to be followed by the Swedish fascist movement in future.[7] The newspaper folded in 1992.[8]
