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

the Stockholm suburb of Rinke is one of the poorest areas in Sweden over 80% of residents are first or second generation immigrants this bridge was set to connect it with a richer neighborhood but it’s uncompleted with the far-right campaigning against it for years what will happen with uh the real estate prices in that area if this bridge leads to criminality spill over there what will happen to uh the kids who are vulnerable to robbery attempt Charlie Vish heads of the Sweden Democrats listed the EU elections his farri right party is not in government but supports the center right Coalition so what I would do is to move the whole Asylum process including Refuge outside European Union territory Mustafa zaro was born in Rinke you see the high building there there is H my childhood this entrepreneur of Palestinian desent says nowadays there are fewer social schemes and public services meanwhile some say the rise of violence in recent years shows that integration has failed in Rinke the riot is going always further to the right of their racist opinions clearly they are getting more supporters in the country people here just try to pull together and do the best they can in their situation he set up a program helping local youths become entrepreneurs like him very I tell them Sweden is a land of possibility so you’ve got to try to seize those opportunities and stay away from trouble here in Sweden voters will be electing 21 MEPS questions of integration and reforming immigration laws have been at the heart of the campaign apart from the greens and the left party there appears to be a consensus over the need to introduce tougher laws but still with some differences integration is currently a sensitive topic in Sweden this Social Democrat MP for Stockholm is one of the few who agreed to answer our questions we must have policy to include everyone in the society we have a big unequality when it comes to school uh when it comes to how we live in Sweden so we we mean that the government must uh have a policy that you know the rich people they can afford to to pay taxes to contribute to this equality for all backed by the far right the Swedish government has vowed to combat what it calls a shadow society in other words foreigners who aren’t integrating

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.

  1. 95%-97% of gun crime in Sweden 🇸🇪 is committed by non-swedes 💔 (the elites have imported a foreign criminal class)

  6. Immigrants don’t integrate so they create their own version of the country they flee. The left talks about colonialism destroying cultures yet they embrace destroying themselves through their own version of colonialism through mass immigration. Please europe preserve your culture.

  7. There is no co-existence. Sweden and the EU need to ban a particular religion and then expel anyone who practises it.

    OUT

  8. criminal politicians in the European parliament importing criminality into Europe sounds about right, it's all about MONEY TO TOE THE PARTY LINE,,, if you are labelled far right wear it as a badge of honor, being called racist for wanting to protect your country and communities is what these people in the parliament do, vote them out and replace them as they want to do with you.

  9. 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.

  14. All part of the globalists' big plan to pay off politicians to open borders, making Western societies more fractured and less likely to rise against their billion dollar green tax-grabbing agendas

  15. Finnish gulf is a sick place. Communism n Putinism in SPb, Na.. sm in Helsinki, Swoodenism in Stockholm, euro-optimism in Tallinn😅

  17. Ah the violence and sexual assault only began a few years ago funny I’ve been seeing reports for decades, and the drug gangs having hand grenade fights over territory must be just an invention of the Swedes sorry I mean the new name of fed up Swedes “the far right”. The guilt tripping and doxing doesn’t work anymore.

  20. 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 it…….

  21. 'Co existence' isn't a thing. There are only two states of being – actual integration, or people who don't belong there.

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

  26. I'm swedish and we have had enough! I want them deported out! They ruined our once safe and beautiful country. Europe needs to stop taking muslim immigration!

  30. I am different from others in my country. Let them go to western countries. Why should I copy them? Immigration = racism as per socialism. Immigrants are valued only for work.

  31. Africans can come to school in Eastern Europe, schools are free, health care is free, in Eastern Europe we have the lowest unemployment rate, shops are open on Sundays, you can earn extra money on weekends. Eastern Europe, Intermarium countries need workers for factories in industry, processing, for highway construction, road traffic, cobblestone sidewalks, infrastructure

  32. France24 doing like in France: picking out the 0.21% of the migrants from some area who are successful and try to make it a general law 😂
    The crime stats are talking for themselves. The party is over.

  33. We were nice for a decade. No more nice. If other migrants come to our EU states and succeed, then why can't Muslims? Maybe…just maybe…IT'S THEM. At least let in Chinese, EU, Non-EU Europeans, or Indian migrants who are going to be productive law-abiding residents. Quite literally anybody else. If we let in Muslims, they come legally, according to quotas, with full background screens.

  34. External forces (nature, other countries, even immigration) won't ruin a country / a civilization

    Internal forces does…

    (Corruption, decreasing productivity etc…)

    So the root of the problem isn't immigration

    Decreasing productivity / economic size –> Less tax for the "corrupt" govt –> Govt wants more tax (read: income for themselves) –> import immigrants
