This week: Stockholm and US Embassy clash over DEI, and why non-EU researchers won’t recommend Sweden. For Membership+ subscribers: Grindr leak gives PM another national security headache, and why just six naturalisation applications got approved in April.
In this week’s episode we talk about why Stockholm is at loggerheads with the US Embassy over anti-diversity demands and we examine a scathing new report on how Sweden’s immigration policies are harming foreign researchers.
For Membership+ subscribers we look at the ongoing saga of Sweden’s failed attempt to appoint a national security advisor after the latest pick for the job stepped down within hours over leaked photos from the Grindr app.
We also have more from last week’s interview with the migration minister, Johan Forssell, and we look into why the Migration Agency rejected an unusually high number of citizenships applications in April.
Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.
