The government: No evidence that a single immigrant has net emigrated

• The government claims to have caused thousands of people from Somalia, Iraq and Syria to “net emigrate” this year
• But the Swedish Tax Agency's figures say 0 people
• Now the government is meandering and delaying the release of its documents on the alleged net emigration
• Everything indicates that everything is a scam

Domestic. The government refuses to process a request from Fria Tider to provide the basis for Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard's disputed claim that thousands of Syrians, Iraqis and Somalis are “net emigrants” from Sweden. At the same time, everything indicates that the real figure is 0 people.
 – I will get back to you if I have any comment, says press secretary Richard Wahlström.

THE LID IS ON: Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard still does not want to release after two weeks the basis for its claim of net emigration of Iraqis, Somalis and Syrians.

On August 8, the Ministry of Justice released a press release in which Migration Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard claimed that there was now net emigration from Sweden. Not only by Swedes, which has been known for a long time, but also by Somalis, Arabs and the like.

During a press conference, the minister more specifically showed a diagram (see picture above) which indicated the net emigration of Iraqis to about 900 people, Somalis to about 1,100 people and Syrians to just under 500 people in the first five months of this year.

– The government's work yields results. For the first time in 50 years, Sweden has net emigration, the minister said during the press conference.

But the claim is a hoax. Or – if you want to be kind – misleading. It is the Tax Agency's investment in registering people who do not live – or perhaps have never lived – in Sweden as “immigrants” that is behind the numbers. Something the government does not write, but is content to imply, in the last sentence of its long press release:

“The government's efforts for improved population registration are assumed to contribute to this outcome,” it says.

Samnytt has requested the Swedish Tax Agency's figures, which show that 5,992 incorrectly registered people have been removed from the registers during the first five months of 2024, which means that Sweden continued to have a positive immigration net if you disregard the Tax Agency's thinning.

“It is therefore misleading to suggest that 'part of' the net emigration was due to the Tax Agency's controls. The controls account for more than the entire net emigration,” states the news site's journalist Mattias Albinsson in a column about the government's return scam.

However, Samnytt's figures do not show which countries the emigrants come from or emigrate to. It is therefore not possible to know whether there is any net emigration – or even any emigration at all – regarding immigrants from Iraq, Syria and Somalia, as the government claims. It might as well be business as usual, that is, Swedes moving from Sweden and the third world moving in.

When Fria Tider the day after the government's press conference calls Maria Malmer Stenergard to ask how much of the the alleged net emigration to Iraq, Somalia and Syria, which consists of real emigration, press secretary Richard Wahlström replies that it is only partly due to register changes within the Tax Agency.

– That is as we wrote in the press release. It's quite a bit, he says.

So there are a number of people who have actually emigrated online, when it comes to Iraq and Somalia and things like that. Do you have any evidence for that claim?

– I'll have to look it up in that case.

Is there any evidence that there are more than zero people?

– I'll check it out and get back to you.

But now the government has held a press conference about the fact that there is a net emigration of, among other things, Iraqis. But the real net emigration of Iraqis could therefore be zero people? Is that what you say?

– No, that's not what I'm saying, but there is evidence, but I'll look it up and get back to you.

Today ? during Wednesday. Then Wahlström has obviously received new instructions.

– I can ask you to send an SMS with your questions and I will get back to you. If I have any comment, he says.

But now I didn't want any comment from you, but I wanted to get the government's documentation that there is net emigration to Iraq, Somalia and Syria.

– Then I get ask you to come back with a written request.

You didn't say that last time. Then you said you would take this out and get back in writing yourself, and then you didn't.

– Yes, but that's my message to you now. Get back to me by email.

No. You are an official at a government agency and must handle a request to issue a public document. Is there any evidence that a single person from any of these countries has emigrated? That was the question.

– I can't answer that right now, because I'm in a meeting. I can ask you to send this in and I will deal with it right away.

After submitting the request in writing on Wednesday, however, no one from Maria Malmer Stenergard's department will return this week either.
