Johan Forssell. Swedish politician of the Moderate party (M) serving as Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy.

As an academic, a student and a co-worker in the health care sector, I am living in the reality. A reality where people over 85 yo is expected to increase by about 60 % over a 10-year period while the sector is struggling to hire 65 600 to solve the demographic mismatch, according to Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR).

And now the Swedish government is throwing immigrants out while totally ignoring the fact that 53 % nursing assistants and 37 % assistant nurses are of immigrant background (SKR).

The Swedish government's stupidity stretches beyond Swedish borders as well.

Luckily, the Swedish general election will be held on 13 September 2026. It will be a pleasure to vote for a change based on humanity and common sense.

"There in front of me was the whole #immigration debate in a nutshell: a girl fleeing a country where she was valued less even than the clothes she wore, a new country that took her in, and a local population increasingly fed up with #immigrants."

Swedish EU presidency makes their far-right a pan-European threat

New year, new Swedish leadership in the European Council. And in 2023 political pariahs, once associated with violent racists and swastika-wearing Nazi sympathisers, are dangerously close to the helm.

I don’t know if I already posted this. Thought I did but maybe it was lost in the server migration.

Tardulv and I had a great talk about the sad direction #Sweden is currently headed in with #swedendemocrats taking power. Please give it a listen as there are some lessons everyone can learn from. Vote, Organize, Take Action.
