Uruguayans in Sweden are people born in Uruguay who live in Sweden, or Swedish-born people of Uruguayan descent. As of 2013, there were over 4,000 Uruguayans living in Swedish territory.[1]

Overview[edit]

Since Sweden was and remains a highly democratic country and a net receiver of immigrants, during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973–1985) there were several Uruguayans fled to Sweden; this was possible, among others, much because of Ambassador Harald Edelstam.[1] Nowadays there are many Uruguayans who still live in Sweden.[1]

Uruguayan residents in Sweden have their own institutions, for instance, Casa Uruguay in Malmö[2] and the Consultative Councils in Stockholm and Gothenburg.[3]
