  • Extreme poverty affects one in four Syrians

    More than a quarter of Syria’s population lives in extreme poverty, the World Bank notes in a report. 13 years of civil war have completely shattered Syria’s economy, and some 5.7 million residents have fallen into near total poverty.

    The review shows that 90 percent of the population lives in the somewhat milder classification of poverty.

    The World Bank notes that “extreme poverty was non-existent before the conflict” and the civil war that broke out in 2011.

    Extreme poverty is defined, among other things, by a person having less than around 30 kroner a day to move around with.

  • M wants to see volume targets for immigration to the EU

    The moderates think that member states should individually have the right to set volume targets for immigration.

    The moderates think that EU member states should individually have the right to set volume targets for immigration, writes top candidate Tomas Tobé on DN Debatt.

    He also wants to see a zero vision for economic migration to the EU. People who do not come to Europe legally to work or study and who also do not have grounds for asylum must be stopped from entering the Union.

    Tobé believes that the EU’s migration pact, which was adopted earlier this year, is good but that more needs to be done. The pact took eight years to negotiate.

    M also wants to see more agreements with countries outside Europe in terms of migration and asylum management, border guards in North Africa and to redirect the EU’s development aid to “counteract the root causes of migration”.

    The difference is that Anders writes his own opinions and signs with his own name.

    A “troll factory” is a hidden organization that spreads misleading information for propaganda purposes – without being clear about who the sender is.
