What a weak statement. Not one mention of how the donation most likely came (in part) from customer funds.

Here's the statement from Mullvad's co-founder himself, which at least has some substance on the why: https://dberntsson.info/2026/07/20/orebropartiet/

Interesting reading to try to get into the mind of a left thinker voting extreme right. Although I didn't share such opinion, his argument sounds like "I don't trust/like my government, so, let's support Hitler to do some opposition with the hope that he won't be too powerful to enforce his policies what I don't share". Historically that doesn't end well and it sounds really naive.
