The politicians are the cause of the contempt for politicians

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government.

I do not make an assessment as to whether it was right or wrong to receive the large number of immigrants who came to Sweden in the 2010s in this post, but only state the facts and their consequences without having a ready business plan for infrastructure or self-sufficiency. However, I judge all politicians who chose to ignore the warnings that came the following years and through their behavior betrayed both the immigrants and Sweden.

Sweden, under the then social democratic government, in the 2010s received a large number of people who could not read let alone have any form of education.

On October 21, 2021, Roger Haddad (L), then vice-chairman of the labor market committee and labor market policy spokesperson, wrote an editorial in the newspaper Arbetet, which is part of Sweden's largest trade union Landsorganisationen (LO) media house. Mr Haddad was and is a member of the Liberal Party (L) which at the time of the editorial was part of the Social Democratic government.

In his editorial, Mr. Haddad writes that quote "The government has failed in its main mission, to deal with unemployment. The EU's lowest unemployment target is well on its way to turning into the EU's highest unemployment rate, with over 186,000 people in long-term unemployment. A large percentage of these are foreign-born, who, due to high thresholds and a failed integration policy, have not entered the labor market." unqoute.

This was something that Annicka Carlsson, then operations coordinator at the employment agency in Filipstad in Sweden, pointed out already in August 2019. In an interview with the state-owned Swedish TV (SVT) regarding the high unemployment rate among immigrants from countries outside Europe, which at the time amounted to approximately 80% in Filipstad, Mrs. Carlsson said quote "there is no demand for foreign-born illiterates, but there is a demand for labor" unquote.

That then, as one of the social democratic press secretaries, Emma Fastesson-Lindgren, wrote in a tweet in November 2024, where she accuses the current government of not doing enough to reduce the huge unemployment that her party has helped to create, is dishonest.

In order to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future, one must be able to see and above all acknowledge the entire course of events, both for future immigrants and for Sweden.
