The people marching in the parade are obviously okay with it. It's stupid to say 'I'm okay with something if it's organized by left wing people but not okay with an identical event organized by right wing people.' You don't see a really obvious problem with that statement?
Also I somehow doubt the Swedish Democratic Party is the 'closest relative to nazis'
The party organizing this parade is a far-right party on the Swedish spectrum and, unlike the American right, it is a European racialist conservative type of party that exists in most countries - Some of them openly spouse belief that Hitler was a great man and there's members in jail for denying the Holocaust, while others, maybe with the intent of gathering more votes or sincerely espousing a more moderate belief, think we should simply kick out all immigrants because Europe belongs to Europeans. This is obviously a very wise political maneuver and if it works it will gather votes for this party. Obviously some people are perfectly ok with manifestations organized by the left but not by the right.
