The bourgeois government also wants to pay poorly integrated families to move out of Sweden.
The Swedish government wants to tackle crime and weak integration through families.
The three bourgeois parties in the government and the government’s support party, the Sweden Democrats, are figuring out how to facilitate the eviction of children and young families who have committed crimes from their rented apartments.
Party representatives write in an opinion piece in Aftonbladet (you will switch to another service)that parents’ responsibility for their children must be tightened.
The parties justify evicting the families of children who commit crimes by saying that this would improve the sense of security of the other residents of the residential areas.
– The fight against crime is the political fate of our time, the parties write.
Among the signatories are the Minister of Justice of the moderate coalition Gunnar Strömmer and the Swedish Democratic chairman of the Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs Richard Jomshof.
If the plan is implemented, the landlord could evict, for example, a teenage family dealing with drugs or weapons, even if no one else in the family has committed crimes.
– We think it is reasonable to demand that a parent who knows that a child is involved in this type of crime takes action to stop it.
– Basically, it’s about what we as a society want and can accept. If we tolerate disorder, crime and violence in problem areas, the vicious cycle will never be broken, the parties say.
The government wants to pay immigrants
In recent days, the government has come up with other ways to intervene, for example, in the situation of problem neighborhoods.
Immigration minister belonging to the moderate coalition Maria Malmer Stenergard says For Dagens Nyheter (you switch to another service) that the government wants to encourage poorly integrated immigrant families to return to their home countries with the help of money.
Sweden already pays assistance, for example, to those with residence permits who voluntarily return to their home countries. A family can receive a maximum of 40,000 kroner, or about 3,600 euros. Support has been paid to only 46 people in ten years.
The government wants to increase the amount so that people who know Swedish poorly and who have no means of living would leave Sweden.
– The target is the large groups that have come in the past decades and have not managed to integrate, says the minister.
The Finnish Immigration Service has been given the task of informing about migration support and finding ways to increase the number of emigrants.
