I am also an immigrant to Sweden.
And, to be fair, I also haven't integrated perfectly well (I scarcely speak Swedish)- but I pay a lot of taxes and I don't do any crimes.
I would suspect that the Orebro party doesn't really have a problem with me, though they would start to have an issue if I started bringing my home countries problems with me, or if I started trying to bend society to my will- or if I never paid any taxes and had to live my entire life on welfare... or if I committed crimes.
I can't say for sure, since the only thing I know about the party itself is learning about it from this incident, but based on my conversations with conservative SD supporting Swedes, this is probably the case.
If so, then unfortunately, I (and many other immigrants, especially those from the Balkans in the 90s) likely support this idea.
- Gud 3mo agoI am a migrant FROM Sweden(to Switzerland) and the Swedes absolutely want you to speak Swedish. At least this has been my experience living in Switzerland. They prefer that I speak broken German rather than English. Even many who speak English flawlessly. But you will be tolerated if you are overall a net contributor, that is right.
- dijit 3mo agoYes, that's fair, I think tolerated is the right word. I'm tolerated for not speaking Swedish, but I would not be tolerated if I was a criminal, went directly against Swedish values loudly or was a net drain on society in some other way.
- inigyou 3mo agoWell, this guy's party would end that toleration because you don't have Swedish ancestry. Is that good?

- Gud 3mo agoNo, not all all? Markus Allard doesn't seem to want to kick out productive members of society.
- inigyou 3mo agoWho decides who those are, eh?
- Gud 3mo agoI think it’s pretty straightforward, and I suspect most people do. If your working and paying taxes and otherwise integrating, you are.
- inigyou 3mo agoWhat does "otherwise integrating" mean, and do you really want to expel everyone who receives tax money (so the entire government) and everyone who is unemployed?
- customguy 3mo agoThe question wasn't "is there anybody who supports this", but how that isn't ethnonationalist.
