The mood in Sweden has shifted.
49 % of Swedes believe that immigration is the EU's main problem outperformed only by Denmark with 53 %.
44 % of Swedes believe that immigration is Sweden's most important problem outperformed by no polled country.
And the last election resaulted in almost 20 % for the immigration-critical Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna).

From early September 2018 until mid-January 2019 Sweden remained without a new government. It took 131 days to reach an agreement that would allow the Social Democrats (Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti) and the Greens (Miljöpartiet de gröna) to continue to govern. The agreement includes the cooperation with the Center Party (Centerpartiet) and the Liberals (Liberalerna) to have at least 167 out of 349 seats in parliament. And assuming that the opposition parties would vote against it was necessary that the 28 members of the Left Party (Vänsterpartiet) to either vote for the agreement or to be absent from the election. If the third election to the Prime Minister had failed again, then the fourth attempt would be the last before new elections would have been triggered. [2] [3] [4]
Ultimately the Left Party (Vänsterpartiet) absented and Stefan Löfven was re-elected as Prime Minister. The result of this conflict is essentially because most parties have openly stated that they want to prevent the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) from participating in a government. The agreement that allows the Social Democrats (Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti) and the Greens (Miljöpartiet de gröna) to continue governing also includes liberal economic reforms such as the abolition of rent controls for newly built houses and that household-related services can be tax deducted even more which are purchased mainly by the wealthy. In order to keep the Sweden Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) from the governing the old and new government had to sacrifice part of their policy. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Meanwhile the problems with which the politicians have invited but for which they do not want to take responsibility grow. The threat of terrorism is still increased according to the Swedish domestic intelligence agency Säpo (Säkerhetspolisen). According to Klas Friberg the chief of the agency the terrorist threat is on the third stage of five. And the number of violent extremists in Sweden is about 3,000 according to the agency. Of these just over 2,000 are islamist extremists, while the rest are right-wing and left-wing extremists. According to Säpo the number of Islamist extremists has increased tenfold in only seven years. Thus islamist extremists are dramatically overrepresented in a country with a Muslim minority. Maybe that's why the government considered in 2018 to use the army against criminal gangs. [10] [11] [12] [13]
It is also increasingly worrying that the returnees of war and prison in the islamic milieu encourage others to imitate them and begin to gain influence. One of the returnees Akar Saman Ali is one of several friends from the same neighborhood in Stockholm who traveled to Syria and has sympathy with the IS. Prior to 2018 he was registered at an address in Stockholm but he couldn't be meet there and did not respond to requests from the Swedish tax authority. So it's safe to assume that he traveled to Syria. Meanwhile Akar Saman Ali has even risen to become a politician on the municipal level. This confirms the theory of the author Sameh Egyptson. The author of "Holy White Reads" claims that Islamists infiltrate the parties. [14] [15]
Especially among the Greens (Miljöpartiet de gröna) it regular happens that islamists are discovered within the party. Ali Khalil in Botkyrka for example offered around 3,000 votes in the next election for the construction of a mosque. But Khalil also has contact with the Muslim Brotherhood. In the city of Malmö the islamist and anti-Semitic movement Milli Görus has received grants from the city. Even more interesting is that the chairman of the association Idris Yildiz was previously a member of the Social Committee in Malmö and an active environmental partner. It begs the question why a supposedly feminist and gay-friendly party is so vulnerable for these extremists. [16] [17]
The situation in Sweden continues to escalate and the politicians who have led it refuse to take responsibility. The Swedish Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) can look forward to more voters in the future and sympathizers may be happy about how much influence they already have. The Swedish population on the other hand has to hold on until politicians are ready to take responsibility.
