The occupation of the Student Union Building (Swedish: Kårhusockupationen) was one of the most talked about events in Sweden in 1968.^{[citation needed]} Students at Stockholm University decided to occupy the Stockholm University Student Union's building at HolländargataninStockholm on 24–27 May 1968 to send a political message to the government.

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.
