Swedish leftist student uprising – occupation of the Student Union Building in Stockholm. The then minister of education Olof Palme came and tried to persuade the students to embrace reformism and liberal democratic values.^[1]

The students were inspired by the protests of May 1968 in France but used less violence. This was one of many political protests in 1968.^[2]

Borgerliga Studenter – Opposition '68 was created as a reaction against the leftist students. The building itself is today part of the Stockholm School of Economics.
