What is Radio Sweden Weekly: Citizenship changes to be discussed by MPs about?
This coming Tuesday, the government's citizenship bill will be examined by a parliamentary committee which will then take a position on the reforms. Meanwhile, a grassroots organisation calling for transition rules for people with citizenship applications already in the queue is running a letter-writing campaign targeting MPs — among them Liberal Party politicians — to try and sway them to vote against their own bill. We speak with Patrick Gallen from Fair Transition and political scientist Patrik Öhberg from the University of Gothenburg. Also: The government this week presented its draft bill to remove pathways to permanent residence for refugees and their relatives, a move aimed at further reducing asylum-related migration and improving integration. But concerns have been raised over unintended consequences for other types of migrants. We hear from Olle Hammar, assistant professor in economics at Linnaeus University and a researcher at the Center for Migration and Integration Research at the Stockholm School of Economics. And: A shaky temporary ceasefire has been reached between the US, Israel and Iran. But this week's also seen US President Donald Trump's attention turn back to matters a bit closer to home, namely Nato and Greenland. We asked Jan Hallenberg, professor emeritus of political science at the Swedish Defence University, to share his analysis. Presenters: Dave Russell and Michael Walsh Producer: Kris Boswell
