The time scam

  • The equality authority will remain despite an election promise to close it down
  • The Tax Agency's purge resulted in record low population growth
  • Government: No evidence that a single immigrant has net emigrated
  • Continues to hand out 100,000 residence permits a year
  • Migration Agency: Tightened requirements for immigrants hardly make any difference at all

A significant proportion of the new citizenships, a total of 50,990, have been issued to people from Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia and Eritrea. These make up the four largest groups among the new Swedish citizens.

Despite the debate surrounding tightened rules, even people with a criminal history can still be granted Swedish citizenship.

The Tidö parties' decision not to stop the issuance of citizenship while tougher rules for citizenship are investigated has led to criticism. Many believe that stricter conditions should be introduced immediately to ensure that the requirements for becoming a Swedish citizen are high enough and that the population exchange actually slows down.

One of those who have argued for such a moratorium on citizenship is the SD profile Kent Ekeroth. In April 2023, when the Tidö government had been in office for six months, he tried to put pressure on the party leadership to demand a moratorium on both residence permits and naturalized citizenship — but to no avail.

The government has now been in place for almost two years and immigration is still at pretty much exactly the same level as under the S rule — despite the promise of a «paradigm shift».
