Timeline
Per Axel Ahlmark (15 January 1939 – 8 June 2018 ) was a Swedish politician and writer.
Ahlmark joined the Liberal Youth of Sweden in 1960 and was elected chairman of the organization the same year.
He was a columnist for Expressen, then the largest daily newspaper in Scandinavia, from 1961 to 1995.
He served as chairman of the Liberal Youth until 1962 and as a member of the board of the Liberal People's Party from 1960 to 1978.
He completed upper secondary education at Södra Latin in Stockholm and earned a BA in political science from Stockholm University in 1964.
Ahlmark was first married to the journalist Lillemor Melsted in 1965.
He also served as a member of the Swedish parliament from 1967 to 1978.
Ahlmark was born in Stockholm, Sweden, as the son of the professor in medicine Axel Ahlmark and the dentist Gunvor Berglund.
He was elected a member of the upper house of the Swedish parliament from 1967 to 1969 (representing the constituency of Örebro County) and as a member of the lower house from 1969 to 1970 (representing the constituency of Stockholm Municipality).
In his writings he accuses the political left in Sweden of being uncritical towards the totalitarian communist regimes especially after 1968.
He was a strong supporter of the state of Israel.
Following the unicameral reform in Sweden in 1970–1971, Ahlmark served as a member of the unicameral parliament until 1978.
From 1970 to 1997 he served as deputy chairman of the Sweden–Israel Friendship Association.
He also served as a member of the Council of Europe from 1971 to 1976, and as deputy chairman of the Martin Luther King Fund from 1968 to 1973.
He was the leader of the Liberal People's Party from 1975 to 1978, and Minister for Employment and Deputy Prime Minister in the Swedish government from 1976 to 1978.
On 7 November 1975, Ahlmark succeeded Gunnar Helén as leader of the Liberal People's Party.
From 1976 to 1978, in the first non-socialist government in Sweden in forty years, Ahlmark served as Minister for Employment and Deputy Prime Minister.
On 7 March 1978, Ahlmark retired from party politics due to personal reasons.
From 1978 to 1981 he served as chairman of the board of the Swedish Film Institute.
Ahlmark published several political books and many hundreds of articles about politics, literature and international conflicts.
During the 1980s he published three books of poetry, one novel and two books of essays.
He co-founded the Swedish Committee Against Antisemitism in 1983 and served as its deputy chairman until 1995.
Ahlmark served as an advisor to the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity since 1987, and was a member of board of the Geneva-based NGO UN Watch since 1993.
In 1994, Ahlmark published the widely debated book Vänstern och tyranniet ("Tyranny and the Left"), which is the major work on Swedish fellow travellers and political pilgrims during the last thirty years.
This book triggered one of the most heated discussions in recent decades in Sweden about freedom and its enemies.
His next work, Det öppna såret ("The Open Sore"), makes a summary of new research regarding democracy and dictatorship respectively in terms of war, genocide/mass murder, and famine.
From 1997 to 2018 he was a columnist for Dagens Nyheter, the largest Swedish morning paper, and a contributor to Göteborgs-Posten.
In 1997 he founded the Sweden–Taiwan Friendship Association.
Ahlmark supported the U.S.-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, and was extremely critical of Hans Blix (who is also a prominent member of the Swedish Liberal People's Party and served as Ahlmark's deputy chairman in the Liberal Youth of Sweden).
In an article in The Washington Times, Ahlmark described Blix as politically "weak and easily fooled" and a "wimp".
His last book in the same field was Det är demokratin, dumbom! ("It's the Democracy, Stupid!"), published in 2004.
In February 2006, Ahlmark wrote in the Wall Street Journal that he had officially nominated former U.S. undersecretary of state John Bolton and American investigative reporter Kenneth R. Timmerman for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Calling them "the good guys" for having exposed Iran's nuclear weapons program and worked to curtail it, he again criticized his former deputy Hans Blix and the IAEA for having been "duped for 18 years" by Iran.
On account of Ahlmark's 70th birthday in 2009, a new foundation called The Per Ahlmark Foundation was established in October 2008 by the Jewish assembly in Stockholm.
The stated purpose of the foundation is to "promote scientific research and education in political science, the history of ideas and Jewish history, as well as in economics, all with particular focus on issues concerning democracy and human rights".
Ahlmark died on 8 June 2018 at the age of 79.
