European elections: Coexistence and immigration at the centre of Sweden public debate • FRANCE 24

In Sweden, one of the major issues at stake in the European elections is the question of coexistence. Since the 1960s, the country had been a land of welcome for people fleeing their homelands. But everything changed with the arrival of a centre-right government in 2023. Today, most political parties are calling for less immigration and a rethink of the integration model. FRANCE 24's team on the ground reports from the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby, where 80% of residents are first or second generation immigrants.

I still remember all the swedish women holding signs saying "welcome" at the airport eight years ago when the refugees arrived. 😅

These people aren't "far right", they're just RIGHT.

If there were no Islam. The World have been a better peace & happiness. It's a universal truth

I'm British and 30 years ago I spent a year working in Sweden and it was a lovely country with lovely people. I'm appalled by what has been done to it.

[gearoiddom]

What is the purpose of Sweden? It could be a homeland for the Swedes. Or it could be some sort of international open house available to any who desire to enter. It can't be both. That clearly isn't working.

Far-Right AKA People with common sense!

Oil and water don't mix.
Think on Europe.
A dog born in a stable doesn't make it a horse.

Regretting open borders? Assimilation is just a word, not a reality.

[johncheetham]

If you don't belong to a country and are a guest. Even if you live there you are a guest. Doesn't give you the right to start interfering in their country. It doesn't belong to the EU, it belongs to the Swedish people.

[TangerineCreamsickle]

Never before in human history has so many countries been as developed as right now. We are at the peak of global equality in terms of access to medicine, technology and economic advancement. So why are more people from so many more countries demanding “asylum” and “refuge” now? Their ability to easily migrate is a sign of increased mobility and economic freedom not a sign of increased desperation. It is a luxury choice not a need.

[NoctLightCloud]

"Entrepreneurs"? So barbers and kebap shop owner?

[maggan]

Is France24 just as leftleaning as BBC, DW, SVT etc?

[shabbirmanji]

2:27 POLICIES for all, screw that thing. First swedish then immigrant & not ordinary immigrant legal educated immigrants

[alex_tahiti]

Which country does not have an issue with immigration?
Poor country (nobody want to live there
Closed border country (South Korea, Japan)

[kev]

Instead of 'far right' why not 'absolutely right' as they seem to be the only one's capable of telling the truth.

[zzlbbdp]

The Social Democrat at 2:40 forgot to mention how they spent billions on questionable social project, just look at the Angered camel park project, millions spent yet no camel park built.

[TheKing]

You have to start asking these people what are they doing to solve their problems in their country everybody cannot go to another country when things don't work out that's not feasible long-term

[mrmeldrew]

Surely there are a raft of measurable benefits to Sweden from the migration?
Just list them to win the argument if you are on that side of

Rwanda for immigrant and asylum seekers. Best model ever. Should have been done long time ago though.
