3. The refugee situation in Sweden
Mon Nov 16, 2015, 05:32 PM
Nov 2015

In Sweden, we are receiving many immigrants. Because of Paris, the question hasn't been discussed much now, but that's the only thing we've been discussing before.

Immigrant officials work extremely hard. So do police officers, nurses and son on. There's more and more irritation here about some countries doing nothing. Shall Swedish subsidies to EU be canceled? Not much talk about leaving the union yet, but it's not impossible, if this proceeds. There's a small outrage about Hungary. 1956 is remembered.

During the last days, the discussion has also, for natural reasons, been about possible terrorists arriving. Many Syrians haven't had their identity checked, while entering. That so called stream has slowed down a little, and at the movement, most refugees are coming from Afghanistan.

No polls lately, but the Swedish Democrats have gained much from the situation, according to commentators. But next election isn't until 2018.
