Glenn wrote that 90–95 percent of Swedes, according to him, believed that anyone who had cheated or provided incorrect information in an application should lose the grants or benefits that the information had granted access to. He stated that support for that principle was broad within the education system, the tax system, the benefits system, in job applications, and among insurance companies. At the same time, he felt that the requirement for truth seemed to weigh less in issues concerning residence permits and citizenship, and wondered why. Glenn wrote that the right to reside in the country and citizenship were among Sweden's most important laws, and questioned how it could be seen as a lesser problem if such decisions were based on lies. He argued that the debate placed disproportionately great importance on smaller issues compared to this. #Sverige #Medborgarskap #Rättvisa (translated)
