Stories about and from Sweden, the Humanitarian Superpower

skriver den 30 december 2015 i en artikel om Sverige, under rubriken Even Europe’s humanitarian superpower is turning its back on refugees:

The country’s dramatic shift threatens to wreak havoc all the way down Europe’s migrant trail in 2016 by setting off a domino effect in which countries seal their borders for fear that their neighbors will do the same.
——————————–
Instead of a permanent home in Sweden, new arrivals will be eligible only for a temporary stay of between one and three years, with the government vowing to accept no more than the minimum number of refugees required under European Union law. Rules for bringing family members to Sweden will become much tighter.
——————————–
In ever-polite, welcoming and humanitarian-minded Sweden, the new policies have triggered intense soul-searching. Announcing the changes in November, the deputy prime minister choked back tears.

Under tiden 14 juni – 14 september 2014 skrev jag på sajten medium.com 17 artiklar på engelska under samlingsrubriken Stories from Sweden, the Humanitarian Superpower. De texterna visade hur illa ställt det var i Sverige. sedan maj 2005 har jag också bloggat om asyl & migration (och annat), och sedan 2008 har otaliga miggor skrivit hundratals och efter hundratals inlägg som visat hur prekärt läget varit och hur det förvärrats genom åren. Tyvärr måste det i Sverige ofta, på manga områden och så även på asylområdet, gå för långt innan det reageras och ageras, vilket resulterar i ogenomtänkta åtgärder med inte så lite hysterisk anstrykning. För här, i The Humanitarian Superpower, här förmår styrande (politiker) och rapporterande (journalister) inte, som i andra länder, se längre än näsan räcker. Nej, här hanteras livsavgörande frågor på ett sätt som får katastrofala följder för land och folk, liksom lite along the way eller – som man säger i Finland: ex tempore (ung. improviserat, oförberett):

So the massive police presence in a small park in the heart of Stockholm, was not caused by a terrorist attack of some sort or any other criminal activity. No, it was caused by the fact that a political figure, a leader of a parliamentary party, would be speaking in our small, normally so quiet park in Södermalm!

Many of the asylum seekers — especially those who are used to much better living conditions — are appalled by what awaits them in Sweden. The fact that 300–350 people arrive every day (!), is an unimaginable strain on the municipalities that are supposed to receive them and put a roof over their heads. It also puts overwhelming pressure on the Swedish society: its people, the Migration Board and migration courts, schools, doctors and hospitals, dentists, Police etc.

Another option is to buy you a Syrian citizenship because with that you will get permanent visa very quickly from the Migration Board in Sweden. The cost for that is very cheap compared to the cost of —  worst case scanario — the tickets for going back to Dubai or Denmark every month/every three months to renew your visiting visa. The only problem with this is that you look Chinese and not Syrian…
