Young Swedes SDU, alternatively Sweden Democratic Youth, have been the youth organization of the Sweden Democrats since 1 October 2015. The organization was founded after the mother party broke ties with their original youth organization. The chairperson of the organization is Tobias Andersson.[1] According to Jimmie Åkesson, the party chairman of the Sweden Democrats, the main purpose of the organization is to "attract young people to vote for the party" during election seasons, and to "help regrow the party" between election seasons.[2] The organization uses a crossbow called the Engelbrektsbåge as their symbol and they describe themselves as democratic and socially conservative with a nationalistic base.[1]
