About this app

Frisinne means openness to new ideas and is a socially liberal voice of the times. We shed light on current political issues from an ethical perspective. Inter alia.


Frisinnad Tidskrift's founder and longtime editor Waldemar Svensson had probably never even dreamed of such a career path for the small 16-page magazine that began to be published in December 1929 under the name Väst-Sverige, and which from the beginning was intended to spread the message of the Frisinnad People's Party primarily on the West Coast. Svensson later used to end the various years with the proviso that if the editor was allowed to live and have health, the magazine would also be published in the coming year.
​

During the 1920s there were two liberal parties in Sweden: Frisinnade Folkpartiet and Sweden's Liberal Party. In most of the country, the Liberal People's Party dominated, while in the big cities and on the west coast, Sweden's Liberal Party was the largest. The free-minded Waldemar Svensson founded the magazine Väst-Sverige in order for it to be a link between the free-minded in western Sweden and to spread knowledge among the public about the aspirations and political deeds of the free-minded.
​

In 1934, Sweden's two liberal parties merged to form the People's Party. The liberal press in West Sweden now represented the entire bourgeois left and at the same time West Sweden had spread to interested parties in the rest of the country. In the fall of 1935, the magazine's name was therefore changed to Frisinnad Tidskrift. After the war, the magazine was expanded to its current size.
