Viktor Herou

Herou dedicated a large part of his political career to the upliftment of the small peasantry.

[1] Herou was the son of agricultural labourers and toiled as a forest worker during his youth.

[1] When the Socialist Party parliamentary group was divided over a parliamentary motion on the Spanish Civil War (a debate in which the majority of the parliamentarians with Kilbom at their helm implied that Flyg had adopted a too ambivalent position towards the defense of the Spanish Republic), Herou took a neutralist position.

[5] Herou became a prominent local politician in Österfärnebo, being active in municipal politics until 1952.

[1] In 1964 he became the interim chairman of the newly founded Österfärnebo branch of the Swedish National Pensioners' Organisation (PRO).
