Ex-national security chief on trial, and the words we use for people who have moved to Sweden. For Membership+ subscribers: how to avoid the ‘teen deportation’ trap and will the government ditch plans to raise salary requirements for work permits?
In this week’s episode we talk about the latest from the trial of Sweden’s former national security chief, Henrik Landerholm, over the negligent handling of classified documents.
We also discuss the language used to describe people who weren’t born in Sweden. Are we immigrants, foreigners, expats or something else entirely?
For membership+ subscribers we examine what lawyers and the people directly affected are saying about Sweden’s spate of teen deportations.
Finally, we look at whether the government is likely to back away from plans to further hike the salary requirement for work permit holders after the employment minister said this week that he’d like to “pull the handbrake” on the whole enterprise.
Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Richard Orange and James Savage.
