William Nils Erich Petzäll (26 August 1988 – 1 September 2012) was a Swedish politician, former member of the Sweden Democrats and Chairman of the Sweden Democratic Youth. At the 2010 Swedish general election he was elected to be the parliamentary representative for Dalarna County (Sweden Democrat MP).
In 2011, Petzäll discontinued his commitment to the political party that he had been serving up until that point in time. Until his departure from the Sweden Democrats, Petzäll was employed as a press secretary, in addition to his primary role as the committee leader for the Sweden Democrats' immigration policy program commission.
Political career
Born in Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden, Petzäll was active in the Sweden Democratic Youth (SDU) and the Sweden Democrats.
Borås
He was a member of the municipal assembly in Borås, between the years 2006 and 2010. During a Baltic Sea cruise in 2009, Petzäll and several other SDU members were caught on tape singing nationalist songs and he later stated that the songs were performed ironically.
Dalarna
When the Sweden Democrats entered the Riksdag in the 2010 Swedish general election, Petzäll accepted a seat for the electoral district of the province of Dalarna. Later that year, on 20 November 2010, Petzäll was elected the chairman of the Sweden Democratic Youth.
