Stefan Löfven has long said that the problem of gang crime cannot be linked to migration. In the SVT Agenda in November last year, for example, he firmly said no to the question. The Prime Minister explained that gang crime is due to segregation, social divisions and areas of exclusion.
During the party leader’s debate in the Riksdag on Wednesday, Stefan Löfven was asked why he didn’t see the connection between high immigration and rising crime.
Then Löfven replied:
– With a large migration where we cannot cope with integration, we also continue to be at higher risk of the problems we see. It’s very clear.
“Get social tensions”
When asked in the Aktuellt tonight, he develops his reasoning.
How to understand this? Do you mean that a large migration leads to an increase in crime?
– If you have a migration that means in the order of magnitude that you cannot cope with integration then it will be so that we have social tensions in a society and that is not good, says Stefan Löfven and continues:
Löfven is now also saying for the first time that these problems have existed in Sweden, and that this is the reason why the government reoriented migration policy.
– Yes, we have, that’s why the government I lead has made sure to change immigration policy, says Stefan Löfven.
“Integration must improve”
The prime minister develops his reasoning and believes that Sweden has had a large migration over the years, which has meant that the country has not managed integration well enough.
– If there are not enough people who come to work from adults, then children see that adults are not working and then you might think that it is normal and other social tensions, and yes it is a problem, says Stefan Löfven. and continues:
– That is why the government that I lead changed immigration policy, so now we receive significantly less. Furthermore, in the January agreement, we agreed that we must manage integration much better, we must get closer to the labor market, improve language education and more social studies.
Stefan Löfven is asked in Aktuellt tonight. The program can be seen on SVT2 and SVT-Play at 9:00 p.m.
