The writer stated that if a member of parliament had obtained citizenship in that manner just before the citizenship law was tightened, there could be many similar cases. According to the writer, this could create the image of systematic government activism, possibly with the aim of "importing new ones." #medborgarskap #myndighetsaktivism #Sverige #SE (translated)

Dan Eriksson criticized Morgan Johansson (S) for claiming that the right-wing government forced the Army Museum to close. Eriksson wrote that Johansson should have directed his criticism instead at the fact that the state compensated the National Museum and the Historical Museum for increased rents, but not the Army Museum. According to Eriksson, the rents were set by the National Property Board, whose director general, Max Elger, had previously been the financial markets minister in Magdalena Andersson's government, responsible for the authority. He wrote that Elger had publicly defended the significantly increased museum rents in the spring and stated that the agency had no choice. Eriksson noted that market rents for state museums were introduced in 1993 and that the Social Democrats had been in power for twenty years since then without changing the model. He also wrote that the museum’s own management had decided on the closure. According to the chief curator, the rent increase triggered the decision, but was not decisive, as the museum wanted to move to larger premises anyway. Eriksson argued that Johansson's phrasing sounded like a campaign poster even three weeks after the election. He added that the Social Democrats could soon take over both the rent model and the director general, and wrote that it would then be interesting to see what the party cared about. #socialdemokraterna #musepolitik #högerregeringen (translated)

Simone Svensson agreed with Bitte Assarmo's criticism of the Enforcement Authority's handling of debt restructuring and a zero plan for the intended member of parliament Mohamed Ali. Svensson reiterated Assarmo's objection that the authority seemed to assume that a young and able-bodied person could never support themselves. According to Svensson, Assarmo believed that the Enforcement Authority should reconsider both Ali's debt restructuring and its view on young people's opportunities for self-support, and criticized that private companies would need to act as a moral anchor for state agencies. She wrote that taxpayers deserved better. https://t.co/lXCuRep6rc #Kronofogden #Skuldsanering #Ungdomar (translated)

The citizenship test in Swedish will be introduced next October. Now the Universities and Colleges Councils (UHR) announces that they cannot complete the task – and want to postpone the exam until 2029. An authority with over 350 employees and a budget of hundreds of millions cannot therefore construct a test over several years. It is not the test that needs to be postponed, but the UHR leadership that needs to be replaced. https://t.co/ko7RcFZId0 #Sverige #Medborgarskap #UHR (translated)

Sergel wants Mohamed Abdukardir Ali's debt restructuring to be revoked. The collection agency Sergel Kredit demands that the Enforcement Authority strikes off Ali's debt restructuring. The company points out that the income of the V-party member has increased significantly since he was elected to the parliament, writes Expressen. Sergel also wants the Enforcement Authority to investigate whether Ali has himself reported that his finances have changed after the election. – If such a report has not been made, this is a circumstance that should be considered as part of the agency's ongoing investigation. The total debt of the V-party member is just over 160,000 kronor. #skuldsanering #Kronofogden #inkasso (translated)

Now Sveriges Radio is reporting extensively on rapes against the elderly in home care. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about just this – about how elderly care has long functioned as a labor market for integration policy for newly arrived and immigrant labor. Some points from my review: • Elderly Minister Anna Tenje notes that elderly care has for too long been used as a labor market and integration policy arena: “Almost anyone has been allowed in.” • Foreign-born individuals account for 31.8 percent of the wage sum in care, compared to 19.1 percent in the economy as a whole. Care is the welfare sector with the highest proportion. • Of the over 20,000 unaccompanied men who arrived in 2015, 27.5 percent are now working in care, social services, and welfare – about 5,500 people. • Employers can receive very large government wage subsidies to hire, among others, newly arrived individuals. A home care entrepreneur describes to Fokus how employers are actively fed information about the support. • The Employment Service also states that the authority does not impose its own requirements for education, language, or suitability when someone is matched with elderly care: “It is the employer who sets the requirements.” • And the question that still lacks a proper answer: is there a connection between this recruitment and integration policy and the abuses? Anna Tenje says that the knowledge situation is too poor to draw that conclusion. The Crime Prevention Council has therefore been tasked with mapping the crimes.
