This week: Sweden calls for sanctions on Israeli ministers, and why are the Sweden Democrats promoting cookie-cutter ‘Sweden houses’? For Membership+ subscribers: Will cash every make a comeback in Sweden? And what is the Migration Agency telling us about citizenship processing?
In this week’s episode we ask why Swedish politicians are becoming more critical of Israel over the war in Gaza.
We also discuss the government’s plans to develop new kinds of pre-approved houses to make it easier for people to buy their own homes.
For Membership+ subscribers we talk about what it’s like trying to get by without a bank-card in a mostly cash-free country.
Finally, we get our teeth into what the Migration Agency is saying about in-person meetings with citizenship applicants and changing how it prioritises which cases to process.
Host Paul O’Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and Richard Orange.
