Sweden

Swedish Social Democrats: Population must be mixed

Population replacement in the West

The Swedish Social Democrats have concluded that integration efforts over the past few decades have not yielded the desired results.

The party now wants to focus on mixing the population and ensuring that newly arrived migrants are spread out and placed in "socioeconomically stronger" areas.

At the Social Democratic Party congress this weekend, the party presented a new migration and integration policy program for the upcoming elections, with a strong focus on social engineering and mixing people from different backgrounds in the same residential areas.

– It is important from a socioeconomic perspective to achieve diversity, claims Social Democratic Party executive Jonas Attenius in the tabloid Aftonbladet.

Decades of unrestricted mass immigration have led to the creation of ethnic enclaves and areas in many parts of Sweden that are completely dominated by people with non-European backgrounds.

The Social Democrats themselves have been driving forces behind this development and have ignored alarms and warnings from critics – but now claim that the situation is unsustainable and that the solution is instead large-scale, nationwide mixing.

– We are serious about breaking segregation and using housing policy as a driving force in this work, declares Lawen Redar, who has been working on developing the party's new integration policy.

Preventing moves to "vulnerable areas"

To achieve this, asylum seekers will no longer have the right to arrange their own housing, and municipalities will be prohibited from placing migrants in so-called "vulnerable areas" – residential areas where many non-European immigrants already live.

Furthermore, moving to these immigrant-dense areas will also be restricted by making those who move there risk losing their social benefits. Instead, migrants will be placed in "socioeconomically stronger" areas around the country.

– We have legislation that requires us to place people, and it is not God-given that it always has to be in a suburb. But this presupposes strict migration, that it is at a very low level, says Jonas Attenius, chairman of the municipal council in Gothenburg and newly elected member of the Social Democrats' executive committee.

He confirms that mixing is a stated and very important goal for the Social Democrats, but believes that it may take time.

– Yes, we need to mix the population in the long term. I usually say ‘in a generation’. This is a long-term goal.

"No problems whatsoever"

– It is important to use our housing construction to achieve this mix. The way we live is also segregated. In one place there are rental properties, in another there are villas and condominiums. We want to work on building a mix, Attenius continues.

He believes that voters will welcome the explicit mixing policy and takes the opportunity in the gossip magazine to apologize to the migrants who have been placed in Swedish suburbs in recent decades.

– I say sorry to them. Sorry for what we’ve done. Now it’s time for the full force of society to step in. If a refugee family moves into an apartment building where people who’ve lived in Sweden their whole lives also live, and five blocks away another newly arrived family moves in — I don't think that will be any problem whatsoever, he assesses.

No "paradigm shift" yet

Mass immigration to Sweden has been extremely extensive in recent decades – according to statistics from the Swedish Migration Agency, nearly 2.5 million people have immigrated in the 2000s alone – leading to a long list of difficult problems.

Regardless of whether the Social Democrats or the Moderates have governed Sweden, the policy of population replacement has continued, and anyone who opposed it could long expect to be subjected to smear campaigns or character assassination in the establishment media.

However, the success of the Sweden Democrats has led to a rhetorical shift among the other parties, and today both the Social Democrats and the Moderates claim that they want to see a limited migration policy. In practice, however, not much has happened, and despite the government's promises of a "paradigm shift in migration policy", 94,000 residence permits were granted last year.

Residents in vulnerable areas most supportive of Sweden’s new return grant

Population replacement in the West

Published yesterday 2:57 pm – By Editorial staff
After the Swedish government, together with the Sweden Democrats party, significantly raised the cap for return migration grants, support for receiving the grant is now increasing among certain immigrant groups.

The Swedish government's significant increase of the return migration grant at the turn of the year is meeting mixed reactions among the population. A new opinion poll shows that support is strongest among foreign-born residents in so-called vulnerable areas – and weakest among left-wing voters.

At the same time, debate is growing about how the grant should be used and what effects it may have for municipalities and the state.

When the Tidö government (Sweden's center-right coalition government) raises the return migration grant from approximately €900 to €31,000 at the turn of the year, the goal is to encourage more migrants who are deemed difficult to integrate to voluntarily return to their countries of origin.

The reform has created extensive political debate, not least after several red-green (left-wing) municipalities indicated their opposition to the measure.

This has led representatives from the Tidö parties and the Sweden Democrats to question whether state support should continue to municipalities that do not participate in the program.

Now a new survey from Indikator Opinion, commissioned by the Järvaveckan Foundation, shows that support for the significantly increased grant varies greatly between different groups.

Support varies greatly

According to the survey, attitudes are significantly more positive among foreign-born residents living in vulnerable areas than in the rest of the country.

In these areas, 39 percent say they are positive about an increased return migration grant, while 30 percent are negative. In the rest of the country – including both native Swedes and immigrants – the proportion of positive responses is 27 percent and the proportion of negative responses is 38 percent.

The most positive group is migrants who have lived in Sweden for less than five years and who also live in vulnerable areas. There, 46 percent say they view the grant increase positively.

Ahmed Abdirahman, CEO of the Järvaveckan Foundation, believes the reaction says something important about how people experience their situation in Sweden.

— That support for an increased return migration grant is greater among foreign-born residents in vulnerable areas may seem surprising at first glance. But the results show how complex the question of integration is. I see it as a sign that we need to talk more about opportunities, not just about benefits. When people don't feel included in nation-building, the willingness to consider other alternatives also increases, he says.

Right-wing voters more positive

The survey also shows large differences between different party sympathies. Among Sweden Democrats' voters, 47 percent are positive about the grant increase, while the corresponding proportion among Christian Democrats' voters is 45 percent.

The least support is found among Left Party and Green Party sympathizers, where a majority view the government's direction negatively.

Per Oleskog Tryggvason, opinion director at Indikator Opinion, emphasizes that the proposal is still unpopular among broader segments of voters.

— A significantly increased return migration grant is a relatively unpopular proposal among Swedish voters – clearly more people think it's bad than think it's good. Even though the proposal is significantly more popular among the Tidö parties' voters, there is a considerable proportion of right-wing voters who are skeptical. Based on these figures, it doesn't appear to be an election-winning proposal, he says.

The grant increase takes effect at the turn of the year. How many people will actually choose to apply remains to be seen – interest has been lukewarm so far, but the government hopes the new amount will change the situation.

Danish People’s Party demands mass deportations: “We must get Denmark back”

Migration crisis in Europe

Published October 20, 2025 – By Editorial staff
Morten Messerschmidt wants to see a Denmark "where Danes are once again masters in their own house".

With proposals for mass deportations, citizenship reviews, and extensive bans on Islamic expressions, the Danish People's Party (Dansk Folkeparti) is campaigning on an immigration policy that is very radical by Nordic standards.

— We must get Denmark back. A Denmark where there are no headscarves in schools. Where Danish is spoken in nursing homes. Where Danes are once again masters in their own house, argues party leader Morten Messerschmidt.

The DF notes that the demographic composition of Denmark has changed drastically since the 1980s, when the proportion of residents with non-Western backgrounds was 1 percent. Today, 10.1 percent of the population, equivalent to over 500,000 people, have non-Western origins.

The party particularly points to immigration from the Middle East and North Africa – including from Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Somalia – as the cause of the country's extensive social problems.

In the manifesto, a series of negative consequences are listed: ghetto formation, ethnic conflicts, radicalization, clan cultures, honor violence, social control, persecution of Jews and sexual minorities, infiltration of public authorities, Islamic censorship, and gender segregation. The DF claims this constitutes "the largest demographic change in Danish history".

"Immigration from the Middle East and North Africa in particular brings a lot of crime and is fundamentally changing our country. If you do not want to adopt Danish culture and Danish values, the Danish People's Party will work to ensure that you stay somewhere else", it states.

Citizenship review

The program contains proposals that go significantly further than current Danish legislation. The DF wants to review all citizenships granted over the past two decades. For those who received citizenship in the past eight years, new language and citizenship tests should be introduced. Those who fail the tests should lose their Danish citizenship.

Criminals should also lose their citizenship, and the party wants Denmark to try to leave or renegotiate international agreements that limit the ability to make people stateless.

To enforce deportations, the DF wants to use economic pressure against countries that oppose receiving their citizens. Aid should be withdrawn and economic sanctions imposed. The party proposes that a special ministry for returns should be established.

Those who accept financial support to leave Denmark should be banned from ever returning. Border controls should be made permanent and strengthened.

Restrictions on Islam

The DF's program also includes a series of measures specifically targeting Islam and Muslims. The party wants to ban or heavily tax halal products, stop foreign financing of mosques, and withdraw state recognition of Islamic religious communities.

Domestically, the party wants to ban the call to prayer, prohibit headscarves in public buildings, and shut down Muslim independent schools. Permanent residence permits should only be granted to persons of Danish origin. Foreign citizens whom police list as gang members should be deported.

"Remigration now"

Messerschmidt has intensified his criticism of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's immigration policy in recent weeks, which he calls "the great immigration fiasco".

"We must have Denmark back. A Denmark where there are no scarves in schools. Where Danish is spoken in nursing homes. Where the Danes are masters of their own house again. The most important issue of all is the issue of repatriations. That is why we need a remigration policy", Messerschmidt wrote on social media last week.

In another post, he claimed that immigration has increased sharply during Frederiksen's time as prime minister:

"REMIGRATION AND HOME SHIPMENTS NOW! Since Mette Frederiksen became Prime Minister, Islamic mass immigration has increased by a staggering 124 percent. In fact, she has allowed as many as 40,000 Islamic foreigners into our country since she came to power in 2019".

Orbán warns of Europe’s extinction: “A nation without children has no future”

Population replacement in the West

"In the end it comes down to a very simple thought. If not enough children are born we will disappear", states Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán issues a stark warning that European nations face extinction unless birth rates increase.

In harsh terms, he criticizes Western Europe's "population replacement through migration" and explains that Hungary invests its economic resources in families instead of mass immigration.

In a post on X, the prime minister articulates his clear position:

"If a nation has no children, it has no future. The West chooses replacement through migration, we choose our families and our children. That is why we dedicate every possible economic resource to supporting them. Our future will not be imported from abroad", he states.

In a radio interview, the Hungarian prime minister develops his argument and describes the demographic crisis as an existential issue.

— In the end it comes down to a very simple thought. If not enough children are born we will disappear, says Orbán, and continues:

— It must be understood that a shrinking country cannot be successful. Thus, when a community shrinks, its members will inevitably be increasingly worse off.

"A matter of survival"

Hungary's leader emphasizes that the country's population is "a matter of survival, both in the long term from a histtorical perspective and in the short term for the sake of economy".

The Hungarian leader presents two paths for Europe to handle the demographic crisis. He is highly critical of the Western model.

— There is the Western path. There, not enough children are born and migrants are brought in one by one. There are fewer Germans or fewer French, and they are replaced by Muslims, he says.

Orbán explains Hungary's strategy: "That path can be chosen, others tried it before us, we kept our heads down, did not let foreigners in, watched what happened to those who did, and what we not see in western Europe is not attractive. I do not recommend that we copy it, but then we need to have our own children".

Massive support for families with children

The prime minister acknowledges that having children is a private matter, but emphasizes the state's role in creating conditions.

— This is of course a private matter since the state cannot decide how many children someone should have, he says, but explains at the same time that Hungary still does what it can to try to create incentives for increased childbearing.

— What we can do is to support mothers who undertake giving birth to at least two children which means that for themselves and their husbands there is one child each. So they are maintaining our community.

The Hungarian leader describes how the country recognizes and rewards families with children economically.

— We recognize them, we support them, and we do not allow them to live worse lives just because they chose to have two children than those who did not. Those who are willing to raise children must be respected, acknowledged, supported and encouraged.

London mayor attacks Trump: “Racist and islamophobic”

Population replacement in the West

Published September 25, 2025 – By Editorial staff
London is a city in profound decline according to Donald Trump, but a cultural world city if you believe Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Donald Trump warns of sharia law in London and attacks the Pakistani-born mayor Sadiq Khan as a "terrible mayor".

Khan counters by condemning the president as "sexist", "racist" and "islamophobic".

The war of words between the two politicians escalated after Trump's UN speech on Tuesday, where he painted a very dark picture of Europe's mass immigration problems.

– Europe is in serious trouble and is being invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody has ever seen before, Trump said in his speech.

He directed particularly sharp criticism at London and its mayor:

– Where you have a terrible mayor, a terrible, terrible mayor, and it's been so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you're in a different country, you can't do that.

"He is racist"

In an interview with BBC London, Khan, whose parents immigrated from Pakistan, countered by throwing various epithets at the president.

– Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic and he is Islamophobic, Khan said.

The mayor simultaneously defended London's status as a world city, despite it being listed as the 16th most dangerous city in Europe according to the Numbeo Crime Index.

– We are often number one in the world when it comes to culture, foreign investment and sport. I'm really proud we are the greatest city in the world, Khan claimed.

He further claimed that a large number of Americans had actually chosen to move to London during Trump's presidency.

Britons in minority

London has undergone extensive demographic change in recent decades. White Britons today constitute a minority in the capital, as well as in Birmingham and other major British cities after decades of extensive immigration primarily from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Just over 15 percent of London's population today identifies as Muslim.

Decades of mass immigration have brought enormous social and economic problems. Violent crimes, particularly knife attacks and gang-related violence, have increased sharply in the major cities where residents in many areas now live in insecurity and vulnerability.

Segregation has worsened dramatically with entire neighborhoods transformed into foreign ethnic enclaves as the native population has been successively forced to flee areas where British culture and language have been displaced by imported customs and norms.

Despite the extensive negative consequences for the white British population – from lost residential areas to increased insecurity and cultural displacement – both Labour and the Conservatives have for decades stubbornly continued to pursue a mass immigration policy that has fundamentally changed the country.
