[REGNUM] Sweden's biggest domestic problem remains crime, both organized and street. In recent months, this larger story has taken on additional, worrying ramifications.
Criminals are increasingly recruiting children and teenagers to participate in their crimes. As a result, the number of underage murderers in Sweden is growing every month.
It is no secret that the lion's share of Swedish crime is ethnic, fueled by the migrant communities that have settled in the country.
| Mostly Syrians, Kurds, and Iraqis, a very few native Swedish biker gangs affiliated with Hells Angels and such. This mostly is not mentioned, the Swedes being accustomed to being polite. |
And now Sweden's current moderate right-wing government is doing something unthinkable for its liberal predecessors: it is trying to push the newcomers out of the country. True, it is using carrots rather than sticks.
NOT AFRAID OF PUNISHMENT
The current situation in Sweden is deplorable. According to official figures, the local organized crime scene numbers around 30,000 people, and the criminal underworld is clearly becoming younger.
"In just ten years, this Scandinavian country has gone from being one of the safest on the continent to topping the European rankings for deadly shootings.
Deeply rooted criminal gangs (mainly run by second-generation immigrants) are no longer just killing each other, but increasingly innocent bystanders. Many of the perpetrators are teenagers under the age of 14," writes the British newspaper Financial Times.
Indeed, ethnic gangs in Sweden are happy to recruit minors to use as hitmen.
Teenagers often lack fear of possible responsibility, since where an adult can get a life sentence, a minor gets off with a few years in a correctional boarding school.
The Financial Times gives a telling example, one of many: "In October, several people were convicted of two powerful explosions in a fashionable Stockholm district. A 25-year-old was given a five-year prison sentence, while two 17-year-olds were sent to correctional facilities for ten months."
In previous years, the Swedish press, as well as Swedish government agencies, infected with the ideology of "tolerance", tried to avoid a direct parallel between the growth of the migrant community and the growth of crime. In the media and in official documents, all criminals are called "Swedes", without specifying their ethnicity. And formally, everything seems to be so: after all, people from Asia and Africa who received a Swedish passport are now also Swedes, if we understand this not as nationality but citizenship.
But it is impossible to ignore the obvious forever – and now the head of the Swedish police, Petra Lund, has admitted : “We brought too many people here, and now most agree that we have failed to integrate them.” According to Lund, there have already been 186 shootings in Sweden this year, in which 31 people have died, and the perpetrators are becoming younger and younger.
RAIDS ON NEIGHBORS
Gangs staffed by “also Swedes” are growing so rapidly that Sweden itself is no longer enough for them.
The gangs wage fierce wars among themselves for territory: in fact, the main area of application of the “soldiers” (as juvenile criminals are called) is the killing of representatives of competing criminal communities.
But there is another way of expansion - active development of neighboring countries. Recently, gangs from Sweden have been active in Denmark and Norway. And now the Norwegian and Danish press is telling about the "art" of these "guests", predicting: soon all this will be here too.
Thus, the Norwegian portal Aftenposten describes a shootout that broke out in the southern suburbs of Stockholm. Bandits opened fire from military automatic weapons right at the exit of a local metro station. Four people were injured, two of whom, including a 15-year-old boy, died.
Malmö University criminologist Manne Gerell complained: "Young people are increasingly becoming targets. We have 15-year-olds shooting with machine guns and 15-year-olds being shot with machine guns."
Gerell said that adult gangsters recruit children because minors receive more lenient sentences. "They want to be cool and make good money. And they get what they want when they carry out murder orders," the expert noted.
Deputy Chief of Police of the Kingdom of Denmark Peter Svarrer says that local criminals are hiring Swedish "soldiers" via the Internet. "You can get, for example, $100,000 for killing a person in Denmark," says Svarrer. He is considering how to stop the "cross-border cooperation" between Swedish and Danish criminals.
The police are being spurred on by Danish politicians who are demanding an urgent crackdown on the "Swedes" who cross the strait to commit crimes.
Svarrer sees a possible solution in organizing educational work and conveying to the "soldiers" that they will not get off as easily as in Sweden. "In Denmark, a child can get the same punishment as an adult," warns a high-ranking police officer.
Another problem is that about six hundred influential criminals who run things in Sweden are not physically in the country - and Swedish police cannot get to them.
EVERY THIRD
Lund notes that even against the backdrop of the rest of Europe, where the crime situation is generally far from ideal, Sweden has managed to stand out for the worse. The police chief sees the root of the evil in the fact that the country has been flooded with people who adhere to the customs inherent in “clan communities” and do not trust the Swedish authorities.
"We may never return to the calm Sweden that was before," says Petra Lund.
Sweden's 2022 parliamentary elections have brought a moderate right-wing coalition to power, supported by a majority of voters due to its promises to bring order to the migration sphere and stop the influx of immigrants from third world countries allowed by their left-liberal predecessors.
The situation required immediate intervention, because, according to the latest data, already 29% of children aged seven to sixteen in Swedish schools speak at home not Swedish, but Arabic, Somali, Kurdish, Bosnian, etc.
The government has begun to tighten the conditions for entry and stay in the country – and this is already bearing fruit. According to Statistics Sweden, 44,100 people emigrated from the country in the first half of 2024.
The indignant liberal press is longingly recalling the times ten years ago, when then Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called on Swedes to “open their hearts” to refugees. Now, the Migration Ministry is presenting as a positive the fact that “the number of asylum applications is approaching a historically low level, and the number of residence permits issued continues to decline.”
DEPARTURE FEE
The authorities are currently preparing a law that will legally oblige public sector employees to report people without documents. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain refugee status in Sweden. The migrants themselves are beginning to feel a change in attitude towards themselves and are gradually moving to other EU countries, where they feel more at ease.
"Statistics show that Sweden is seeing a net outflow of immigrants for the first time in decades," Annika Sandlund, the UNHCR representative for the Nordic and Baltic countries, told The Guardian recently.
Sandlund, who holds liberal views, warned: "This may not be such a good thing for the country. Immigrants play an important role in the workforce, given Sweden's ageing population."
Tobias Hübinett, a senior lecturer in intercultural studies at Karlstad University, says that a “historic event” is taking place before our eyes: in 2024, the number of people leaving Sweden exceeded the number of people arriving. Hübinett is also a liberal and also complains about the state allegedly losing valuable foreign specialists.
“The prospect of tighter restrictions has made Sweden unattractive, especially among highly educated people from countries like Somalia, Iraq and Syria,” says the lecturer, calling the situation nothing less than a “disaster.” Terje Holmgren, head of a refugee aid organization, bitterly echoes his sentiments : “Compared to Sweden ten years ago, it is now much more acceptable to be openly hostile to asylum seekers.”
But the government continues to push its line, supported by the majority of Swedes who are tired of constant news of shootings, explosions, robberies and rapes. Now the authorities are looking for new ways to show the newcomers that they need to adapt to the realities of their adopted country.
Thus, the Minister for Gender Equality and Labor, Paulina Brandberg, proposed a legislative ban on girls wearing the hijab. This proposal caused unrest in the Muslim community in Sweden. Outraged Muslims staged a demonstration in the square of the Stockholm district of Rickenby, where many migrants live, with both men and women taking part.
Speakers shouted into the microphone: "Sweden needs Muslims more than Muslims need it!"
Next year, the Swedish government intends to go even further and radically increase the allowance for voluntary consent to leave the country. Currently, an adult can receive a maximum of 10,000 kronor for this, but soon this amount will increase to 350,000 Swedish kronor (almost 3 million rubles) per person. In total, the authorities are ready to allocate an impressive budget of 1.4 billion kronor for this.
True, the result may not be so impressive - experts predict that no more than seven hundred people will want to take advantage of this offer annually. The fact is that it does not apply to those migrants who have already received Swedish citizenship; Ukrainians; those who have enough of their own funds to pay for their return to their homeland; those who have debts in Sweden.
However, Migration Minister Johan Forschell counters critics of the government's plan: "If we do nothing at all, it will be a big risk." According to Forschell, something must be done.
