In Sweden, the consequences of the policy of opening up to mass migration from Africa and the Middle East cannot be hidden, with the current government taking moderate steps to improve the situation.
This is part of an agreement with the Sweden Democrats, a party opposed to destructive migration policies, writes Do Rzeczy.
Over the past 20 years, the number of people born abroad has doubled from 1 million to 2 million, and the country’s population has grown to over 10 million. In 2015, Sweden accepted a record number of so-called asylum applications, 162,000, mainly from culturally foreign countries, such as Afghanistan and Syria. In time, the government decided to reinstate border controls, and is wondering how to “regulate migration.”
The scale of the influx of immigrants to Sweden was limited during the term of office of Malmer Stenergard from the Moderate Party coalition of Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who served as migration minister from 2022 to 2024. Since 2024, she has headed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
